Modern vision systems are often a heterogeneous collection of image processing, machine learning, and pattern recognition techniques. One problem with these systems is finding their optimal parameter settings, since these systems often have many interacting parameters. This paper proposes the use of a Genetic Algorithm (GA) to automatically search parameter space. The technique is tested on a publicly available face recognition algorithm and dataset. In the work presented, the GA takes the role of a person configuring the algorithm by repeatedly observing performance on a tuning-subset of the final evaluation test data. In this context, the GA is shown to do a better job of configuring the algorithm than was achieved by the authors who originally constructed and released the LRPCA baseline. In addition, the data generated during the search is used to construct statistical models of the fitness landscape which provides insight into the significance from, and relations among, algorithm parameters.
