“…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.

“…Due to the efforts of many groups, various automatic and semi-automatic counting techniques have been developed and used for track counting in Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors (SSNTDs) (for example, see [9] and the references therein). Among these are commercially available systems such as Quantimed 720 [10], Densitron 4M [11] and others as well as systems based on coupling of a CCD or a video camera to an optical microscope and counting with appropriate algorithm/software [12]- [19]. Numerical codes for automatic counting, modeling the track development and calculation of track parameters have also been developed (for example, see [20]- [22] and the references therein).…”

This work describes an algorithm for automatic counting of alpha tracks in scanned images of electrochemically etched CDs and DVDs. It is demonstrated that the algorithm copes with the specific problems encountered in retrospective 222 Rn measurements with CDs and DVDs; it reliably separates overlapping tracks and ignores artifacts in the image. The algorithm is validated by comparison to manual counting and a very good correlation is found. The measurement range of 222 Rn concentrations in dwellings and soil gas is estimated. It is shown that the wide span of track densities that can be covered by the algorithm combined with the specific advantages of the compact disc method can provide reliable measurements in the whole range of 222 Rn concentrations of practical interest. For retrospective measurements of 222 Rn in dwellings the estimated range is from 10 Bq m 3 to 100 kBq m 3 for five years exposure time. For 222 Rn in soil gas the estimated range is from 1 kBq m 3 to 10 MBq m 3 for ten days exposure time.
