Image on the right is a "compressed" version of the Mona Lisa on the left,
evolved using genetic programming.
This was done for a 4p77 assignment by Wolfgang Haas (Winter 2005).

- Note: Please submit the following for all assignments:
- Hard copy of report, source code (code you created, not system's code).
- Electronic copies of: report, source code, GP output files, best solutions (clearly labelled), training and testing images (clearly labelled).
