In computed tomography, the approximation quality of a scan of a physical object is typically limited by the acquisition modalities, especially the hardware including X-ray detectors. To improve upon this, we experiment with a…
We describe a muon track reconstruction algorithm for the reactor anti-neutrino experiment Double Chooz. The Double Chooz detector consists of two optically isolated volumes of liquid scintillator viewed by PMTs, and an Outer Veto above…
Recent advances in segmented solid-state detector arrays for rare-event searches have allowed the technology to approach the ton-scale in detector mass and the scale of meters in size. Often focused around searches for neutrinoless…
Segmentation is often an essential intermediate step in image analysis. A volume segmentation characterizes the underlying volume image in terms of geometric information--segments, faces between segments, curves in which several faces…

Muography is a well estabilished method to obtain 3D images of large objects (e.g. volcanoes and large buildings) without any additional particle source, taking advantage of the presence of cosmic muons. The underlying principle of…
Next-generation microreactors enable remote deployment and semi-autonomous operation, but compact, sealed, heterogeneous cores limit conventional safeguard approaches that rely on access and bulk accountancy. Limited inspection access and…
Background: Whereas filtered back projection algorithms for voxel-based CT image reconstruction have noise properties defined by the filter, iterative algorithms must stop at some point in their convergence and do not necessarily produce…
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is the most common form of mesothelioma. To assess response to treatment, tumor measurements are acquired and evaluated based on a patient's longitudinal computed tomography (CT) scans. Tumor volume,…
In the recent past, automatic selection or combination of kernels (or features) based on multiple kernel learning (MKL) approaches has been receiving significant attention from various research communities. Though MKL has been extensively…
