Abstract In this paper, we autonomously define an optimal, efficient image‐processing tree for extracting the cracks from concrete images using genetic programming (GP)‐oriented evolutionary image processing known as Automatic Construction of Tree‐structural Image Transformation (ACTIT). We propose the use of automatic finding feature from input and internal transformation images to optimize image‐processing filters. These alternative solutions show significant improvements and can be performed by extracting small areas through our experimentation. This can possibly be used with an optimal image‐processing system based on feature filters. © 2012 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
