Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) technology offers a high resolution image of ionizing particle trajectories in liquid argon providing unique features for pattern recognition. Traditional methods used to reconstruct the data in order to extract physics results involve writing a bottom-up chain of algorithms, which involves a complex sequence of signal waveform processing, 2D...

Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LArTPCs) such as MicroBooNE provide excellent calorimetric information and image quality resolution. To take full advantage of these benefits, MicroBooNE is developing a high efficiency, high purity reconstruction chain. OpenCV is an open source computer vision library with functions to aid in pattern recognition and image processing. Such software has...
