As the collisions we study have already been pre-processed by the ATLAS Collaboration, the tracks are visible, but are available to the public only in the form of low-resolution bitmaps. We employ two separate image processing methods, one based on the industry-standard OpenCV library and C++, another based on self-developed algorithms in Python. We present the transverse momentum and azimuthal angle distributions of the particles obtained through both methods, in agreement with the literature.
