Implementation of the Hough Transform for 3D Track Reconstruction in Drift Chambers

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the method for 3D reconstruction of the straight tracks in the tracking system consisting of the drift-chamber stereo layers. The method is based on the Hough-transform approach - the discrete case of more general Radon transform - and takes into account both coordinates of the hit wires and drift distances not only for the measurements in one projection, but also in the rotated stereo layers. The proposed method allows one to resolve the right-left ambiguity and provides the accordance between vertical and horizontal projections of the track.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, submitted to the VIth International School-Seminar "Actual Problems of High Energy Physics", August 7-16, 2001, Gomel, Belarus, see http://gomelschool.hep.b
