Abstract:

Based on the combination of a genetic algorithm and the fractal artistic design, a new method of fractal pattern generation based on a genetic algorithm was proposed. In this method, the binary tree structure  was used as the expression of the iterated functions of fractal pattern, and genetic operations were operated on the iterated functions with tree structure to produce new offspring. This method is helpful in meeting the demands of design. The feasibility of this algorithm was also validated by experiments.
