Abstract
This technical report describes the first implementation of a Fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm for the automatic identification of structures on the Sun based on EUV images and photospheric magnetograms. Before the application of FCM, the AIA 193 Å images and HMI LOS magnetograms acquired by SDO have been pre-processed, and a geometrical approach to correct the limb brightening of EUV images is applied. Then, the images and the magnetograms are analyzed pixel-by-pixel by determining the degree of membership of each pixel to one of clusters, previously defined based on the analysis of a sample training dataset. The routines are written in IDL programming language and will be inserted in the SWELTO pipeline. The work described here was the subject of a Degree Thesis in Physics.
