Abstract :
Genetic and Evolutionary Feature Extraction (GEFE), introduced by Shelton et al. [1], [2], [3], use genetic and evolutionary computation to evolve Local Binary Pattern (LBP) based feature extractors for facial recognition. In this paper, we use GEFE in an effort to classify male and female Drosophila melanogaster by the texture of their wings. To our knowledge, gender classification of the drosophila melanogaster via its wing has not been performed. This research has the potential to simplify the work of geneticists who work with the drosophila melanogaster. Our results show that GEFE outperforms both LBP and Eigenwing methods in terms of accuracy as well as computational complexity.
