Using Genetic Algorithm to Create an Identikit
Milan Kováč, Peter Paul Schreiber · ASME Press eBooks · 2012
Method for creating an identikit was practically unchanged since its invention. Folding foils with individual parts of a face is well known. However, there is one big problem with this principle: it is very little effective. With the help of a genetic algorithm, faces are created by generations. Face is taken as a whole and not as a sum of individual parts. Witness chooses the best face in every generation, so he doesn't give a description of it. Faces evolve until the witness is satisfied with the results. This way, the whole process is easier for witness and more effective.
