Abstract
An algorithm for performing an image or video processing task is generated that may be used to combine a plurality of different independent solutions to the image or video processing task in an optimized manner. A plurality of base algorithms may be applied to a training set of images or video and a first generation of different combining algorithms may be applied to combine the respective solutions from each of the respective base algorithms into respective combined solutions. The respective combined solutions may be evaluated to generate respective fitness scores representing measures of how well the plurality of different combining algorithms each perform the image or video processing task. The algorithms may be iteratively updated to generate an optimized combining algorithm that may be applied to an input image or video.
