Description

In this work we compare the traditional correlation process of a Coded Aperture device to estimate the spatial coordinates of γ-emitters with a different approach: We have developed machine learning algorithms based on Gradient Boosted Decision Trees (BDTG) and Deep Neural Networks (DNN). The algorithms have been trained using 18000 shadowgrams created with simulation. A custom fast simulation tool was used to produce shadowgrams due to sources placed randomly at 18000 different positions within the FOV and up to a distance of 4.5m from the detector plane. The performance of the algorithms has been evaluated with the aid of a different independent sample of shadowgrams.
