  4. Automated Detection of Filaments / NF & JA 2003 Cleaning process / Intensity normalization 1 • Need to compute the slow variations of the background • Use of a large median filter on a resized image • The first approximation is influenced by large bright plages and large filaments • Resize the image I to a smaller scale -> Is • Apply a median filter with a large window to Is • Resize to original scale (->B) and subtract from I -> I’ • From I’define 2 thresholds to roughly locate filaments and bright plages • Replace their value with the corresponding values in B -> I” • Apply step 1 to 3 to I” and get the final background and the normalize image

  5. Automated Detection of Filaments / NF & JA 2003 Cleaning process / Intensity normalization 2 - = - =

  6. Automated Detection of Filaments / NF & JA 2003 Cleaning process / Dust lines removal 1 • Need to compute a binary image with most of the • line points set to 1 and the background to 0 : • Threshold • Thinning morphological operator

  7. Original Threshold Thinning Hough transform Threshold Hough backprojection Line pixels locations Pixels values correction Automated Detection of Filaments / NF & JA 2003 Cleaning process / Dust lines removal 2

  8. Before and after enhancement Automated Detection of Filaments / NF & JA 2003 Image enhancement • To enhance the image sharpness we use a Laplacian filter • Filaments contours are better defined • Allows to detect the thinnest parts of the filaments more efficiently g(x,y) = f(x,y) –2f(x,y) where2f = 2f/x2 + 2f/y2 Digital implementation:

  9. Automated Detection of Filaments / NF & JA 2003 Region Growing Definition: “procedure that groups pixels into larger regions based on predefined criteria. It starts with a set of ‘seed’ points and from these grow regions by appending to each seed those neighboring pixels that have properties similar to the seed”

  10. Automated Detection of Filaments / NF & JA 2003 Region Growing / Seeds detection To find the seed points we apply a windowed threshold: The pixels statistics in each window (200*200) are computed and the threshold is given by: Twin = Mwin –  x win M : Mean  : constant  : standard deviation

  11. Automated Detection of Filaments / NF & JA 2003 Region Growing For each seed we define an intensity range which is a criteria to append connected pixels to the seed: [ 0, Tbr ] where Tbr = Mbr –  x br ( brstands for Bounding Rectangle ) A minimum region size is also defined
