A computer program for recognizing and counting the track of ions that are detected with polycarbonate detector has been written using MATLAB software. There are different programs for counting the track of ions in different detectors. Algorithm of this program specially has been written for polycarbonate detector and also for low magnification of optical microscope. Thus, with this method as per image of optical microscope, greater numbers of ions are visible and general distribution of ions can be better known. However, the accuracy of counting program is very high.

“…Software SCION manipulates binarized images and bitmap file format. Arias et al (4) conditioned track images with Jasc Paint Shop Pro software and some filters and color adjustments were also applied to refine the bi-level thresholding. For evaluation of software SCION they developed a program in Borland Delphi version III taking into account two geometric shapes as circular and elliptic.…”

“…The automatic track counting is impeded by the relatively small size of the chemically etched tracks in the widely used SSNTDs. Commercially available image analyzer instruments like the Quantimet 720, Leitz-TAS, FAOM, SCION and TRIAC are also used for track counting (2)(3)(4)(5). Other approaches are based on photometry (6) or on the obstructed total internal reflection of light (TIR) (7,8).…”

In this paper, cellular automata are used to detect the nuclear tracks in the track images captured from the surface of CR-39 detectors. Parameters of the automaton as the states, neighborhood, rules and quality parameters are defined optimally for the track image data set under analysis. The presented method is a supervised computational algorithm which comprises a rule definition phase as the learning procedure. Parameter optimization is also performed to adapt the algorithm to the data set used.

An alternative method to visualize and analyze etched tracks in LR-115 detectors was developed. The method is based on digital holographic microscopy which provides three-dimensional track images. Virtual volumes of simulated tracks were generated considering the refractive index and thickness of etched detectors, and the 3D track profiles produced by the TRACK_TEST program. The developed technique can faithfully reproduce the 3D shape of simulated tracks and their geometric parameters. It was also possible to visualize the 3D shape of experimental tracks. The residual thickness of LR-115 detectors can be determined from tracks that completely perforated the active layer.
