ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for generating a composite of an individual face by an person not skilled in computer use, without need for recalling particular facial characteristics. The invention requires rating of a small number of faces, which are then converted by means of a genetic algorithm to a new set of faces, until the person is satisfied with a particular composite in the set.
