Auroral Phenomenon Localization, Classification, and Temporal Evolution Tracking
In this project, techniques that will aid investigation of auroral phenomena will be developed. The techniques to be developed will be automated and shape model-based and will allow accurate localization of the auroral oval (in the presence of unfriendly background noise) from UVI and IMAGE FUV data. The techniques will provide useful input to downstream analysis tasks, including classification of auroral features and exploration of auroral feature temporal evolution. New, robust automated techniques for feature classification and for exploration of temporal evolution will also be developed. All of these techniques will be incorporated into a unified auroral phenomenon search tool.
