A New Method for Auroral Oval Detection in FUV Imagery
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new fully automatic method for detecting auroral ovals in images produced by the NASA IMAGE satellite’s Far Ultra Violet (FUV) sensor is introduced. The method exploits the shape characteristics of the auroral oval and utilizes domain knowledge. The shape exploitation involves an efficient Hough-based process. Experimental results show that the new method can accurately detect the auroral oval in the FUV images.

Aurora Phenomenon Localization, Classification, and Temporal Evolution Tracking
Our work aims to produce an improved on-line search tool to the large archive of aurora images produced by the NASA Polar mission’s UVI sensor and the IMAGE mission’s FUV sensor. There are approximately 9 million images in these collections, and it is challenging for researchers to find all images of interest for their investigations. Previously, Co-I Germany developed the On-line Search Tool (...
متن کاملJupiter’s polar auroral emissions
[1] This paper reports a study of Jupiter’s polar auroral emissions observed in an extended series of FUV images. They were obtained on seven days, during winter 2000–2001, with the STIS camera on board the Hubble Space Telescope. The fixed pointing yielded highly accurate and consistent tracking of emisson features as Jupiter rotated, allowing the analysis of the auroral morphology and brightn...
متن کاملJupiter’s main auroral oval observed with HST-STIS
[1] An extended series of FUV images obtained on 7 days during winter 2000–2001, with fixed pointing, yielded highly accurate tracking of emisson features as Jupiter rotated. They provided newly detailed measurements of the degree of corotation of auroral emissions and their variations with changing central meridian longitude. This 2-month data set provides a statistical average location of the...
متن کاملInterhemispheric asymmetries in the occurrence of magnetically conjugate sub-auroral polarisation streams
Earthward injections of energetic ions and electrons mark the onset of magnetospheric substorms. In the inner magnetosphere (L∼4), the energetic ions drift westward and the electrons eastward, thereby enhancing the equatorial ring current. Wave-particle interactions can accelerate these particles to radiation belt energies. The ions are injected slightly closer to Earth in the pre-midnight sect...
متن کاملDuskside auroral undulations observed by IMAGE and their possible association with large-scale structures on the inner edge of the electron plasma sheet
[1] On February 6, 2002 large-scale undulations along the equatorward edge of the afternoon/dusk auroral oval were observed with the IMAGE FUV/Wideband Imaging Camera (WIC) during the late expansion/recovery phase of a substorm. The undulations are similar to others previously reported, but occur at higher than usual latitudes and map to the outer duskside magnetosphere, 1 to 2 RE beyond a plas...
