Image Processing For Future High Energy Physics Detectors - Proceedings Of The 18th Workshop Of The Infn Eloisatron Project

This volume stresses the necessity of image procession for future high energy physics detectors (indeed the signals - 1 megabyte of data or more, every 16 nanoseconds - will have 2D-spatial-topology-like images; only the processing/decision rates are much higher). The main issues presented are: new detectors, algorithms for tracking and pattern recognition, dedicated architectures, benchmarking studies on commercially available machines, mixed VLSI technologies, neural networks.
