Automatic Counting System for Nuclear Track Based on DSP and Mathematical Morphology Algorithm

Article Preview

Abstract:

Parameter measurement of the solid state nuclear track occupies an extremely important position in the field of nuclear technology while limitation of the traditional manual counting method is very large. In recent years, DSP and image processing techniques are increasingly applied in the field of nuclear technology. This paper describes an automatic counting system for nuclear track based on DSP image processing platform which uses DSP hardware platform and mathematical morphology algorithm. This system can effectively separate the track point from the background and remove noise, and also accurately count helping to reduce the visual error of manual counting.
