Empirical Parameter Selection
Research gap analysis derived from 2 engineering papers in our local library.
The gap
The empirical selection of key hyperparameters (such as exp_i, rdif, saturation constraint parameters, tiling parameter KA) in various algorithms and models is a recurring gap. These include PSNR/SSIM metrics, B-spline control points, initial conditions for consensus, fractional order parameters, and steaming parameters.
Consensus across the literature
The papers collectively establish the need for systematic methods to select hyperparameters but leave open how these should be chosen in practice.

While hyperparameters are empirically determined using PSNR and SSIM metrics, a more systematic or theoretical framework for parameter selection across different DAS systems is not provided.

The choice of exponential exponent (exp_i = 2 or 1) for penalizing parameter adjustments is set empirically without systematic justification for why these specific values optimally balance data fit and biological interpretability.
