Detailed Description

A specific threshold-based pixel clustering algorithm.

An explicit threshold-based clustering algorithm.

General logic of PixelThresholdClusterizer:

The clusterization is performed on a matrix with size equal to the size of the pixel detector, each cell containing the ADC count of the corresponding pixel. The matrix is reset after each clusterization.

The search starts from seed pixels, i.e. pixels with sufficiently large amplitudes, found at the time of filling of the matrix and stored in a SiPixelArrayBuffer.

Translate the pixel charge to electrons, we are suppose to do the calibrations ADC->electrons here. Modify the thresholds to be in electrons, convert adc to electrons. d.k. 20/3/06 Get rid of the noiseVector. d.k. 28/3/06

A threshold-based clustering algorithm which clusters SiPixelDigis into SiPixelClusters for each DetUnit. The algorithm is straightforward and purely topological: the clustering process starts with seed pixels and continues by adding adjacent pixels above the pixel threshold. Once the cluster is made, it has to be above the cluster threshold as well.

The clusterization is performed on a matrix with size equal to the size of the pixel detector, each cell containing the ADC count of the corresponding pixel. The matrix is reset after each clusterization.

The search starts from seed pixels, i.e. pixels with sufficiently large amplitudes, found at the time of filling of the matrix and stored in a

At this point the noise and dead channels are ignored, but soon they won't be.

SiPixelCluster contains a barrycenter, but it should be noted that that information is largely useless. One must use a PositionEstimator class to compute the RecHit position and its error for every given cluster.

Sets the PixelArrayBuffer dimensions and pixel thresholds. Makes clusters and stores them in theCache if the option useCache has been set.

Clear the internal buffer array.

Pixels which are not part of recognized clusters are NOT ERASED during the cluster finding. Erase them now.

TO DO: ask Danek... wouldn't it be faster to simply memcopy() zeros into the whole buffer array?
