Abstract. Recognition of relevant game field objects, such as the ball and landmarks, is usually based upon the application of a set of decision rules over candidate image regions. Rule selection and parameters tuning are often arbitrarily done. We propose a method for evolving the selection of these rules as well as their parameters with basis on real game field images, and a supervised learning approach. The learning approach is implemented using genetic algorithms. Results of the application of our method are presented.
