pixel-clusterizer 1.1.0

A clusterizer to cluster hits of a pixel detector with Python. The clustering happens in C++ on numpy arrays to increase the speed.

# Pixel Clusterizer [](https://travis-ci.org/SiLab-Bonn/pixel_clusterizer) [](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/SiLab-Bonn/pixel_clusterizer)

pixel_clusterizer is an easy to use pixel hit-clusterizer for Python. It clusters hits on an event basis in space and time.

The hits have to be a numpy recarray with data types as defined in data_struct.HitInfo. The fields are: - event_number - frame - column - row - charge

Cluster information (data_struct.ClusterInfo) is created with the following fields: - event_number - ID - size - charge - seed_column - seed_row - mean_column - mean_row

Also cluster hit information (data_struct.ClusterHitInfo) is created. The cluster hit information is the hit information extended by the following fields: - cluster_ID - is_seed - cluster_size - n_cluster

# Installation

The stable code is hosted on PyPI and can be installed by typing:

pip install pixel_clusterizer

# Usage

import numpy as np

from pixel_clusterizer.clusterizer import HitClusterizer

from pixel_clusterizer import data_struct

hits = np.ones(shape=(3, ), dtype=data_struct.HitInfo) # create some data

clusterizer = HitClusterizer() # initialize clusterizer

clusterizer.add_hits(hits) # cluster hits # add hits to clusterizer

print (clusterizer.get_cluster()) # print cluster

print (clusterizer.get_hit_cluster()) # print hits + cluster info
