利用局部强度保持技术的冠状孔自动检测

Automated Coronal Hole Detection using Local Intensity Thresholding Techniques

Larisza D. Krista, Peter T. Gallagher

摘要:

我们确定冕洞使用直方图为基础的强度阈值技术,并比较其属性快速太阳风流在日光层的三个不同点。阈值技术进行了测试的EUV和X射线图像上使用仪器板载STEREO,SOHO和Hinode。将整张图像转换为Lambert等面积投影图,并将其划分为一系列重叠的子图像,从这些子图像中提取局部直方图。直方图被用来确定低强度区域的阈值,然后使用SOHO/MDI的磁图将其分类为日冕洞或细丝。对于所有三种仪器,发现局部阈值算法以一致的方式成功确定冠状孔边界。冠状孔使用分割算法提取的性能进行了比较,然后在现场测量的太阳风在1 AU的ACE和STEREO。我们的研究结果表明,植根于冕洞的通量管在1 AU内超径向扩展,较大(较小)的冕洞导致较长(较短)的持续时间的高速太阳风流。

英文摘要:

We identify coronal holes using a histogram-based intensity thresholding technique and compare their properties to fast solar wind streams at three different points in the heliosphere. The thresholding technique was tested on EUV and X-ray images obtained using instruments onboard STEREO, SOHO and Hinode. The full-disk images were transformed into Lambert equal-area projection maps and partitioned into a series of overlapping sub-images from which local histograms were extracted. The histograms were used to determine the threshold for the low intensity regions, which were then classified as coronal holes or filaments using magnetograms from the SOHO/MDI. For all three instruments, the local thresholding algorithm was found to successfully determine coronal hole boundaries in a consistent manner. Coronal hole properties extracted using the segmentation algorithm were then compared with in situ measurements of the solar wind at 1 AU from ACE and STEREO. Our results indicate that flux tubes rooted in coronal holes expand super-radially within 1 AU and that larger (smaller) coronal holes result in longer (shorter) duration high-speed solar wind streams.
