Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A tracking algorithm11Code available at https://github.com/jczamorac/Tracking_RANSAC.git. based on consensus-robust estimators was implemented for the analysis of experiments with time-projection chambers. In this work, few algorithms beyond RANSAC were successfully tested using experimental data taken with the AT-TPC, ACTAR and TexAT detectors. The present tracking algorithm has a better inlier–outlier detection than the simple sequential RANSAC routine. Modifications in the random sampling and clustering were included to improve the tracking efficiency. Very good results were obtained in all the test cases, in particular for fitting short tracks in the detection limit.
