Genetic algorithm based heuristic measure for pattern similarity in kirlian photographs
Abstract
This paper presents the use of a genetic algorithm based heuristic measure for quantifying perceptable, similarity of visual patterns by the example of Kirlian photographs. Measuring similarity of such patterns can be considered a trade-off between quantifying strong similarity for some parts of the pattern, and the neglection of the accidental abscense of other pattern parts as well. For this reason, the use of a dynamic measure instead of a static one is motivated. Due to their well-known schemata processing abilities, genetic algorithm seem to be a good choice for "performing" such a measurement. The results obtained from a real set of Kirlian images shows that the ranking of the proposed heuristic measure is able to reflect the apparent visual similarity ranking of Kirlian patterns.
