This chapter describes the track reconstruction package OTR/ITR-CATS developed for the Pattern Tracker of the HERA-B experiment. This package employs a combined approach for track reconstruction based on the use of a cellular automaton for track searching and the Kalman filter technique for track fitting.
The developed package has been tested on simulated and real data. The results of the tests regarding reconstruction efficiency, accuracy of estimates and computing time are presented.
