Abstract

In this paper we propose and evaluate several deep neural network (DNN) architectures that are capable to generate low-dimensional embedding of cosmic ray images obtained from CMOS cameras. All images have been acquired by the CREDO distributed cosmic ray observatory infrastructure. The embedding we obtained can also be used to classify those images using a threshold schema that models an uncertainty of class assignment. The proposed method has also a potential to be a filtering mechanism in order to search data set for images that satisfy certain criteria. The training and validation of the model has been performed on the labelled subset of the CREDO data set that contains 2350 images. We also performed an embedding and classification for the first time on a large subset of CREDO data containing 3.5 million unlabelled images. To the best of our knowledge, this is the most comprehensive study of this scale, published with CREDO imaging data. Both the CREDO data set and the source codes of our method can be downloaded in order to reproduce the results. We also make available for download the data set embedding and classification results.
