Use a general-purpose optimiser (simplex, downhill search, Powell, etc.).
Assuming your data has some patterns (rather than just random numbers),
you'll find it rather quickly.
Global maximum/ma is a different issue because you are then not guaranteed
to find the solution, unless you scan the entire image surface.
