Representing Solar Active Regions with Triangulations

  • Conference paper
COMPSTAT

Abstract

The solar chromosphere consists of three classes which contribute differently to ultraviolet radiation reaching the earth. We describe a data set of solar images, means of segmenting the images into the constituent classes, and a novel high-level representation for compact objects based on a triangulated spatial ‘membership function’. Such representations are fitted in a variable-dimension Markov chain Monte Carlo scheme.
