Abstract

Further to previous work showing the superiority of the pre-processing algorithm developed by Gross and Brajovic, we propose improvements that remove the need for parameter selection. In extensive experimentation on the XM2VTS database, the Yale B database and the BANCA database, we show that our method of automatic parameter selection can produce better results than setting the parameter to a single value for the whole database.
