There have been many studies on improving this method such as changing the input values or using another kind of histogram. Although weight set is also an important key leading to the success of this method, it does not seem to get much attention. A majority of LBP-based approaches are still using the weight set of Ahonen et al.’s study, one of the first researches applying LBP to face recognition. In this study, we introduce a powerful algorithm named Heuristic Weight Search, which finds a suitable weight set for not only LBP-based approaches but also other methods using weight set to improve performance. Experiments on the FERET database prove an ability of HWS thanks to their higher accuracy than original methods. %G English %Z TC 8 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01405642/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01405642/file/978-3-662-45237-0_50_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01405642 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01405642 %~ SHS %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC8 %~ IFIP-LNCS-8838 %~ IFIP-CISIM
