The (British) IEE held a colloquium on "GA in Image Processing & 

Vision" last October. A Digest is available for sale from

Also, here's something I extracted recently from the GA-list archives (v8n10): 
   Several months ago, I posted a request for information
on Genetic Algorithms in the area of Image Processing and
Computer Vision through the GA-List network.

Below is a list of references (including what I gathered). This biliography contains some references on applications of Machine Learning and Optimization techniques to the IP & CV problems. I am thankful to those who kindly replied to my request. I hope that the information will be helpful to interested parties.
