Evolutionary Algorithm

An evolutionary algorithm or EA is part of artificial intelligence heuristics, or self learning systems, in which the evolutionary process is mimicked in order to refine results over successive generations. There is no one single EA; it is rather an umbrella term for a type of heuristic.

EAs typically produce parent/child relationships, merging and mutating datasets, then choosing the children with the most desirable attributes for the task at hand. Those child datasets are then merged with their siblings or mutated again, and the new generation compared. This process continues until a time allotment is used, or further generations do not produced marked improvements for the task parameters.

The Omni-focus
The omni-focus is a camera system with the ability to function much like the human eye - capturing objects in its field of vision regardless of the distance, in perfect focus. It even adapts an algorithm from VR, in order to do so.
