IEEE BigData Cup 2023 Report: Object Recognition with Muon Tomography Using Cosmic Rays.

We summarize the results of the IEEE BigData 2023 Cup: Object Recognition with Muon Tomography using Cosmic Rays - a data mining competition organized at the KnowledgePit.ai platform in association with the IEEE BigData 2023 conference. We describe the challenge at the heart of the competition task, as well as the data acquisition and preparation steps. We present the entire process of preparing experiments and subsequent data analysis for the purpose of recognizing X-rayed objects using muon tomography techniques. We conclude this analysis by presenting the baseline as well as the winning solution of the object segmentation algorithms for the research space reconstruction and object classification.
