Abstract

Pattern recognition was and still is one of the main techniques to detect new elementary particles. More than 20 years ago, bubble chamber pictures were processed with computers to find new particles and nowadays, from millions of electronically recorded reactions single events with new particles are extracted using pattern recognition methods. Although pattern recognition is a very successful technique in elementary particle physics, it never became a part of physics curricula at universities. On the other hand, engineering departments have integrated pattern recognition or, in a broad sense, picture processing into their education program for many years because picture processing and digital filtering have become important tools in technical research and industry. The project described here was started with the aim to develop a basic introduction into the concepts of picture processing for physics students combined with applications in their own field of study.
