TLDR
It is shown that the genetic approach is an improvement over random search and is capable of extracting more complex primitives than the Hough transform.Abstract:
Extracting geometric primitives from geometric sensor data is an important problem in model-based vision. A minimal subset is the smallest number of points necessary to define a unique instance of a geometric primitive. A genetic algorithm based on a minimal subset representation is used to perform primitive extraction. It is shown that the genetic approach is an improvement over random search and is capable of extracting more complex primitives than the Hough transform. >read more

A Study of Reproduction in Generational and Steady-State Genetic Algorithms
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the behavior of generational and steady state population control techniques with respect to reproduction and show that while each can be made similar with regard to the schema theorem, in practice their behavior is quite different.

Laser range finder based on synchronized scanners
TL;DR: A new geometrical arrangement is proposed to improve performances of optical triangulation, which allows considerable reduction of the optical head size compared with usual geometries, so the shadow effects are reduced proportionally.
