The '''Fly Algorithm''' is a computational method within the field of [[evolutionary algorithms]], designed for direct exploration of [[three-dimensional space|3D spaces]] in applications such as [[computer stereo vision]], [[robotics]], and [[medical imaging]]. Unlike traditional image-based [[stereopsis|stereovision]], which relies on matching features to construct 3D information, the Fly Algorithm operates by generating a 3D representation directly from random points, termed "flies." Each fly is a coordinate in 3D space, evaluated for its accuracy by comparing its projections in a scene. By iteratively refining the positions of flies based on fitness criteria, the algorithm can construct an optimized spatial representation. The Fly Algorithm has expanded into various fields, including applications in digital art, where it is used to generate complex visual patterns.

The use of the Fly Algorithm is not strictly restricted to stereo images, as other sensors may be added (e.g. acoustic proximity sensors, etc.) as additional terms to the fitness function being optimised. Odometry information can also be used to speed up the updating of flies' positions, and conversely the flies positions can be used to provide localisation and mapping information.<ref name=Louchet2009EvoIASP>{{cite conference |title=Flies Open a Door to SLAM.|last1=Louchet|first1=Jean|last2=Sapin|first2=Emmanuel|publisher=Springer|conference=Applications of Evolutionary Computation (EvoApplications 2009)|pages=385–394|date=2009|doi= 10.1007/978-3-642-01129-0_43|___location=Tübingen, Germany|volume=5484|book-title=Lecture Notes in Computer Science}}</ref>

Similar internal evolutionary engines are considered in classical [[evolutionary algorithm]], [[cooperative coevolution|cooperative coevolutionary algorithm]] and Parisian evolution.
The difference between [[cooperative coevolution|cooperative coevolutionary algorithm]] and Parisian evolution resides in the population's semantics.
[[cooperative coevolution|Cooperative coevolutionary algorithm]] divides a big problem into sub-problems (groups of individuals) and solves them separately toward the big problem.<ref name=Mesejo2015>{{cite journal |title=Artificial Neuron – Glia Networks Learning Approach Based on Cooperative Coevolution|last1=Mesejo|first1=Pablo|last2=Ibanez|first2=Oscar|last3=Fernandez-blanco|first3=Enrique|last4=Cedron|first4=Francisco|last5=Pazos|first5=Alejandro|last6=Porto-pazos|first6=Ana|pages=1550012|date=2015|doi=10.1142/S0129065715500124|pmid=25843127|volume=25|issue=4|journal=International Journal of Neural Systems|hdl=2183/17502|s2cid=7653183 |url=https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01221226/file/paperReviewed2.pdf}}</ref> There is no interaction/breeding between individuals of the different sub-populations, only with individuals of the same sub-population.
However, Parisian [[evolutionary algorithms]] solve a whole problem as a big component.
All population's individuals cooperate together to drive the whole population toward attractive areas of the search space.

In this example, an input image is to be approximated by a set of tiles (for example as in an ancient [[mosaic]]). A tile has an orientation (angle θ), a three colour components (R, G, B), a size (w, h) and a position (x, y, z). If there are ''N'' tiles, there are 9''N'' unknown floating point numbers to guess. In other words for 5,000 tiles, there are 45,000 numbers to find. Using a classical evolutionary algorithm where the answer of the optimisation problem is the best individual, the genome of an individual would be made up of 45,000 genes. This approach would be extremely costly in term of complexity and computing time. The same applies for any classical optimisation algorithm. Using the Fly Algorithm, every individual mimics a tile and can be individually evaluated using its local fitness to assess its contribution to the population's performance (the global fitness). Here an individual has 9 genes instead of 9''N'', and there are ''N'' individuals. It can be solved as a reconstruction problem as follows:
<math>reconstruction = \operatorname{arg\,min} \overset{x<W}{\underset{
where <math>input</math> is the input image, <math>x</math> and <math>y</math> are the pixel coordinates along the horizontal and vertical axis respectively, <math>W</math> and <math>H</math> are the image width and height in number of pixels respectively, <math>F</math> is the fly population, and <math>P</math> is a projection operator that creates an image from flies. This projection operator <math>P</math> can take many forms. In her work, Z. Ali Aboodd <ref name=Abbood2017EvoIASP /> uses [[OpenGL]] to generate different effects (e.g. mosaics, or spray paint). For speeding up the evaluation of the fitness functions, [[OpenCL]] is used too.
The algorithm starts with a population <math>F</math> that is randomly generated (see Line 3 in the algorithm above). <math>F</math> is then assessed using the global fitness to compute <math>G_{fitness}(F) = \overset{x<W}{\underset{
