Coevolution of Image Filters and Noise Detectors

This thesis deals with image filter design using coevolutionary algorithms. It contains a description of evolutionary algorithms, focusing on genetic programming, cartesian genetic programming and coevolution, the reader can learn about image filters too. The next chapters contain the design of image filters and noise detectors using cooperative coevolution, and the implementation and testing of the proposed filter. In the last chapter the proposed filter is compared to other filters created using evolutionary algorithms but without coevolution
