N2 - In this technote, we describe the concept and general strategy of LArTPC drifted-charge extraction, which converts the raw digitized TPC waveform to the number of ionized electrons passing through the wire plane at a given time. The proper recovery of the number of ionized electrons from all wire planes is important to the success of the subsequent reconstruction algorithms. A number of building blocks for the processing algorithm are described and characterized. An example of implementation of the algorithm was realized inside the Wire-Cell reconstruction package.
