In this paper, an environment for using genetic programming is presented. Although not restricted to a spe- cic domain, our intention is to apply it to image processing problems such as ngerprint recognition. The environment performs tasks like: population management, genetic oper- ators and distributed parallel evaluation of the programs. Furthermore, it provides a framework for implementation of the problem-specic part, like denition of the building blocks for the programs and the tness evaluation. Using object-oriented methods, the environment is designed to of- fer a high degree of flexibility and ease of use. The paper concludes with results obtained from an edge detection ap- plication.
