The Pandora multi-algorithm approach to automated pattern recognition of cosmic-ray muon and neutrino events in the MicroBooNE detector.
The development and operation of liquid-argon time-projection chambers for neutrino physics has created a need for new approaches to pattern recognition in order to fully exploit the imaging capabilities offered by this technology. Whereas the human brain can excel at identifying features in the recorded events, it is a significant challenge to develop an automated, algorithmic solution. The Pandora Software Development Kit provides functionality to aid the design and implementation of pattern-recognition algorithms. It promotes the use of a multi-algorithm approach to pattern recognition, in which individual algorithms each address a specific task in a particular topology. Many tens of algorithms then carefully build up a picture of the event and, together, provide a robust automated pattern-recognition solution. This paper describes details of the chain of over one hundred Pandora algorithms and tools used to reconstruct cosmic-ray muon and neutrino events in the MicroBooNE detector. Metrics that assess the current pattern-recognition performance are presented for simulated MicroBooNE events, using a selection of final-state event topologies
A discussion on the validation tests employed to compare human action recognition methods using the MSR Action3D dataset
This paper aims to determine which is the best human action recognition
method based on features extracted from RGB-D devices, such as the Microsoft
Kinect. A review of all the papers that make reference to MSR Action3D, the
most used dataset that includes depth information acquired from a RGB-D device,
has been performed. We found that the validation method used by each work
differs from the others. So, a direct comparison among works cannot be made.
However, almost all the works present their results comparing them without
taking into account this issue. Therefore, we present different rankings
according to the methodology used for the validation in orden to clarify the
existing confusion.Comment: 16 pages and 7 table
