Thanks for posting that article and it was most informative. Something new for me to explore and possibly use in the future.

For the last two months, I have been working on a rather difficult problem to register high resolution images from multiple cameras together. Using the standard methods, it was taking around 5 minutes to process and that was way too long.

Since I love to read these E vs C threads, one day it dawned upon me. Could I evolve a transformation matrix which would register the multiple cameras?

Today I gave the new software it's first test. I was simply stunned and amazed at how well it worked. Not only was it accurate, but it reduced the processing time from the previous 5 minutes down to 30 seconds.

Not bad for a bunch of random mutations with a little natural selection mixed in. Perhaps I will try to implement the new information you provided tomorrow.

"Today I gave the new software it's first test."

Was this software the result of Intelligent Design, or random processes?

If you're looking for "evolution," why write software? Why not just throw a floppy in the swimming pool a few thousand times? Or bake it in the sun?

I suspect you're not distinguishing between "process" and "evolution," two quite different ideas with SOME shared characteristics.
