Evolution of Approximate Functions for Image Thresholding
evolution strategy, cartesian genetic programming, approximate circuit, image
thresholding
This paper investigates the utilisation of approximate addition and
multiplication for designing image thresholding functions. Cartesian Genetic
Programming is applied for the evolutionary design of circuits using various
implementations of the approximate operations. The results are presented for
various experimental setups and compared with the case when only exact addition
and multiplication is considered. It will be shown that for some range of error
metrics of the approximate operations the evolution provides solutions that are
better than those provided by the exact operations. Moreover, the utilisation of
approximate components allows reducing the implementation area of the resulting
functions.
