Abstract

Pattern recognition algorithms such as artificial neural networks (NNs) and convolution neural networks (CNNs) are prime candidates to perform automated gamma-ray spectroscopy. The way these models train and operate mimic how trained spectroscopists identify spectra. These models have shown promise in identifying gamma-ray spectra with large calibration drift and unknown background radiation fields. In this work, two algorithms for mixtures of radioisotopes based on NN and CNN are presented and evaluated.
