CME Image Edge Detection in Python from STEREO data

This is the repository containing the Python source code for the edge detection algorithm described in the paper of the same name.

The paper itself can be found in the paper directory of this repository, on The Open Journal Of Astrophysics, and on ArXiv.

Sample images generated by the algorithm can be seen in the sample_results directory.

Images used as input for the algorithm in the paper can be downloaded from the UK Solar Observatory Archive.

The Python code can be found in the src directory of this repository. Inside the src directory, there is a subdirectory, inputData, which has sample data for an example script that uses the provided class.

This code is provided under the MIT License, which can be found in the LICENSE file in this repository. In short, please attribute the author when using this code, and this code comes with no warranty whatsoever.

Installation and Usage of Code

The Python program has a principal Python class file, called CMEcounterHIImage.py. There is a usage example Python script located in the same folder, src. In order to use the Python class, you must have the following dependencies installed on your computer:

  • OS: macOS, Linux, Windows
  • The following Python packages, to be installed for example with pip3:
