Termite tunneling feature extraction using genetic algorithm

Path design uses information about termite reproduction and the termite environment necessary for tunneling. Features are extracted by analyzing relevance of this information, and the fitness and relevance of these features are evaluated. The proposed method is demonstrated and is capable of finding various optimal termite tunneling paths.
