We address this issue\ncombining image processing algorithms such as skeletonization, and we test our\nalgorithm with several binarization techniques. The counting algorithm was\nsuccessfully applied to determine the efficiency factor GQR, necessary for\nstandardless fission-track dating, involving counting induced tracks in apatite\nand muscovite with superficial densities of about $6 \\times 10^5$\ntracks/$cm^2$.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1806.05199v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1806.05199v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"skeletracks-automatic-separation-of","repo_url":"https://github.com/alexandrejaguar/publications","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"binarization","task_name":"Binarization"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
