contents Fluorescence telescopes are important instruments widely used in modern experiments for registering ultraviolet radiation from extensive air showers (EASs) generated by cosmic rays of ultra-high energies. We present a proof-of-concept convolutional neural network aimed at reconstruction of energy and arrival directions of primary particles using model data for two telescopes developed by the international JEM-EUSO collaboration. We also demonstrate how a simple convolutional encoder-decoder can be used for EAS track recognition. The approach is generic and can be adopted for other fluorescence telescopes.
