Research on pattern design based on interactive genetic algorithm

Taking the pattern design of Tujia brocade as an example, this study demonstrates the use of genetic algorithms for pattern design based on user preferences. Tujia brocade, as an important carrier of Tujia ethnic culture and art in China, is one of the national intangible cultural heritage items. However, through traditional design methods, designers often spend a considerable amount of time researching matching patterns. In interactive genetic algorithms, designers can rapidly process combinations and patterns on a computer, providing numerous design options based on user preferences in a short period. Designers use interactive genetic algorithms to select the most elite combinations and then integrate new design concepts and contemporary values into the inherent meaning of ethnic patterns. This promotes cultural innovation and inheritance in pattern design, offering new methods and broadening perspectives for designers. It contributes to enhancing cultural identity in pattern design.
