This paper presents a novel non-iterative algorithm for charge particle localization in a spark chamber. Its performance is evaluated by computer simulations using the Monte Carlo simulation method and compared with the performance of an appropriate iterative algorithm. It is found that the proposed non-iterative algorithm performs significantly better, is easier to implement and requires less computational resources than the iterative algorithm.
