Two nuclear track counting software packages were compared. The second package offers a wider working range for nuclear track analysis but runs slower than the first, which has limitations.

Area of Science:

  • Nuclear physics
  • Image processing

Background:

  • Accurate counting of nuclear tracks is crucial for various scientific applications.
  • Automated software solutions are increasingly used to improve efficiency and accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate and compare the performance of two distinct software packages for automatic nuclear track counting.
  • To identify the strengths and limitations of each software package regarding working range and processing speed.

Main Methods:

  • The first software package employs segmentation, speckle elimination, and ill-formed track hole removal.
  • The second software package utilizes mathematical morphology, including filling white-centered track holes.
  • Both packages were subjected to comparative testing to assess their functionalities.

Main Results:

  • The first software package demonstrated significant limitations in its operational working range.
  • The second software package exhibited a broader working range for nuclear track analysis.
  • However, the second package required a longer processing time compared to the first.

Conclusions:

  • The choice of software depends on the specific requirements of the nuclear track analysis, balancing working range and processing time.
  • The second package is more versatile for diverse track characteristics, while the first may suffice for simpler datasets.
  • Further optimization of the second package could enhance its speed without compromising its broader applicability.
