Abstract

In this paper a GA-based method for geometry reconstruction of 2D convex shapes was presented and tested successfully on several scattering targets. While the case of convex scattering targets seems limited, this work is the basis of a more general method that uses genetic programming techniques. Tree-structured chromosomes can be used to represent the geometric combination (union, subtraction, etc.) of convex polygons, which provides a very flexible representation of arbitrary 2D geometries. Moreover, the representation can be extended quite easily to an arbitrary number of dimensions
