Dear Colleagues,
You are cordially invited to submit an abstract to the European Space Weather Week 8 session 4A on “Solar Image Processing for Space Weather”.
(http://sidc.oma.be/esww8/program/sessions.php)
With Solar Dynamics Observatory now operating, one of the key challenges in solar physics is to extract pertinent physical information from huge amounts of data. In recent years, several powerful techniques have been developed for extracting such physical information from solar images in real time. The objective of this session is to present the latest developments, and to foster the transition from applied computer vision techniques to space weather products. We focus on key issues in automated solar feature recognition, solar image processing, and space weather prediction, with examples from SDO, SOHO, Proba2, PICARD, STEREO, and more, as well as from ground-based instruments.
Confirmed invited speakers:
P. Gallagher (Trinity College Dublin, IR), M. Georgoulis (Academy of Athens, GR), F. Kamalabadi (National Science Foundation, US), and R. Qahwaji (University of Bradford, UK),
Deadline for submission of abstracts: 16 September 2011
European Space Weather Week, 28 November, 2 December 2011
Best regards,
Veronique Delouille (ROB, Belgium), Jack Ireland (NASA-GSFC, US)
