The pattern recognition software for automatic treatment of track detector data at the PAVICOM completely automated measuring facility

A software for the PAVICOM completely automated measuring facility is developed. The facility is used to analyse charged-particle tracks in solid-state detectors (nuclear emulsions, CR-39 films, meteorite olivin, etc.) applied in high-energy physics, nuclear physics, and astrophysics. The scanning of the detectors is performed by a PC-controlled CCD camera. The track-image processing program implements filtering, clustering, and tracking procedures to determine the track parameters. Dedicated routines and procedures were developed to perform the track analysis for different kinds of scientific applications. The PAVICOM is capable of determining geometric characteristics of tracks (length, width, etc.), their spatial distribution, and the magnitude of the particle charge.
