abstract = "Image segmentation is a fundamental part in most image
analysis and automatic object recognition problems. In
this paper we enhance our previous genetic
programming-based image segmentation algorithm (GPIS)
to produce GPIS II. The algorithm evolves short C++
programs, which make use of both native C++
capabilities and functions of the OpenCV library. We
present, in detail, the design and operation of the new
program, and present results obtained from a thorough
testing on a random sample of 40 images from a larger
database of microscopic images of cells in culture
(CellsDB).",
