Application of Machine Learning on sequential deconvolution and convolution techniques for analysis of Nuclear Track Detector (NTD) images

A novel image analysis algorithm as applied to images of Nuclear Track Detectors (NTD) is presented. This process, involving sequential application of deconvolution and convolution techniques, followed by the application of Artificial Neural Network (ANN), is identifying the etch-pit openings in NTD images with a higher degree of success compared to other conventional image analysis techniques.
