Limits of Detection Library

A library that calculates the limits of detection, dwell time, and alpha detector velocity. This information is used for assessing the presence of alpha emitting material on a surface. ROS/ROS2 independent, only a C++ library.

Installation

To install the package, first clone or download the repository to your computer. From here on, we will assume that you are cloning using an ssh key as authentification.

git clone [email protected]:UTNuclearRobotics/limits_of_detection.git

Then navigate into the repo and create a /build folder. From this folder we can invoke cmake to compile the library.

cd limits_of_detection
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. && make -j

Now that the library is compiled, you can test the example program

./limits_of_detection

If you want to install the library so it can easiliy be used with other cmake or catkin/colcon projects, run the following command under the /build directory

sudo make install
