Lens system design and re-engineering with Evolutionary Algorithms
Julie Beaulieu, Christian Gagneé, Marc Parizeau · 2002
This paper presents some lens system design and re-engineering experimentations with genetic algorithms and genetic programming. These Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) were successfully applied to a design problem that was previously presented to expert participants of an international lens design conference. Comparative results demonstrate that the use of EA for lens system design is very much human-competitive. 1
