I'm implementing an image reconstruction method using genetic algorithm (for optimization). I randomly opted 10 population(each population is an image with intensity values in row major order) as follows
for i = 1:population_size
eval(['population_' num2str(i) '= (randi([MinIntensity,MaxIntensity],1,No_of_Individuals))']);
end
My question is, can I choose the initial population similar to the image (i.e. the reconstructed image) does the genetic algorithm will converge quickly? If yes, how to initialize the population similar to the reconstructed image (assume that I have a reconstructed image with me).
