Big Picture

Solar Dynamics Observatory generates up to 1.4 terabytes/day Atmospheric Imaging Assembly: four-telescope array on the SDO satellite High-resolution (4096 в 4096) images of the corona in 7 extreme ultraviolet filters every 10 seconds More than anyone could examine by eye Need fast methods for processing data


Statistical Model

Observe photon counts {Yib } in pixel i through filter b i = unknown amount of plasma in pixel i
ij

= proportion of plasma in temperature bin j (

ij

= 1)

i ij = DEM(log Tj ) b = known exposure time bj = known response function Likelihood: Y

Goal: identify regions with similar

Distribution of Ni depends on i and i , whereas distribution of YiB Yi1 ,..., Ni Ni (conditional on Ni ) only depends on

Cluster pixels with similar proportions, ignore totals N


Clustering probability vectors

How to cluster vectors of probabilities or proportions? Squared Hellinger distance between p and q is d2 (p, q ) = H 1 2 ( pb - q b )

Modify k-means clustering to use Hellinger distance:
"h-means clustering"


Clustering probability vectors

Observations p1 , . . . , pn Cluster assignments c1 , . . . , c Cluster centers q 1 , . . . , q
k n

1. Given cluster centers, set ci = arg minj d2 (pi , q j ) H 2. Given cluster assignments, set q j = arg minq
i:ci =j

d2 (pi , q ) H

The minimization in (2) has an analytic solution: ( i:ci =j pib )2 qj b = pib )2 b( i:ci =j


Clustering AIA data

Cluster the vectors (yi1 /ni , . . . , y

iB

/ni ) for i = 1, . . . , n

For illustration, examine a coarsened (256 в 256) set of images, with 3 clusters

How to make images of results more meaningful? (Cluster label is arbitrary number) Assign a level lj to each cluster Many choices for quantitatively meaningful lj 's For example: lj =
