Anomaly Detection

PCA–Mahalanobis Anomaly Detection in CZT Gamma Spectra

Reliable detection of radioactive sources in gamma-ray spectra is important for nuclear security, environmental monitoring, and radiation protection. This work presents an experimental proof-of-concept anomaly-detection approach for low-count cadmium …

Anomaly Detection in Gamma-Ray Spectra Using Autoencoders with Small Form Factor CZT Detectors

The detection of weak radioactive sources in fluctuating background environments is a critical task for nuclear security, environmental monitoring, and emergency response. Compact gamma-ray detectors, such as small-volume CdZnTe (CZT) crystals, are …
