Introduction

Project goals and development

The goal of this work is to develop a complete system, which analyzes autonomously these tracks, and is prepared to deal with special cases, which may occur during the analyzing process.
A special image processing and analyzing software (JParticles) is under development, capable of recognizing some of these tracks, and handling composite (overlapping) and ‘drop shaped’ tracks. The software is based on the functionalities of the ImageJ image processing Java software.
The first version of the software was developed as a plugin for the ImageJ software, and used MATLAB codes directly from Java code (with remote calls). The second version of the software (which is currently under development) is a standalone application, using ImageJ as a library, and all the MATLAB algorithms and codes are translated to Java for better performance and portability.

Main features

The main features of the software are as follows:

• Preprocessing dtector images (loading, filtering... etc.)
• The preprocesing mechanism is parameterized and scriptable (ImageJ macros are used)
• Object (BLOB) identification
• Measurement of morphological parameters
• Interactive view and GUI
• Learning algorithms capable of classifying particle tracks
• The BLOB identification is parameterized, learnable, testable
• The software is capable of loading and saving project data (project management)

  This work deals with the basic concepts of image processing, the challenges set by the analysis of nuclear solid state detectors, and possible answers to these challenges. The first goal of this work was to develop a complete system, which analyzes autonomously particle tracks, and is prepared to deal with special cases, which may occur during the analyzing process.
