Data Inversion For a New Spectral Imaging Technique

Southwest Research Institute
2009–10

The SHAZAM system is able to take very high resolution data of the Sun‘s magnetic field through a new technique called Stereoscopic Spectroscopy.¬† This technique combines a unique instrument setup with new reduction algorithms to allow for full integration over all wavelengths and spatial dimensions.¬† This Clinic project produced a data processing pipeline that performs standard data reduction, cross correlation stereoscopy, and newly developed differential stereoscopy on recorded data in order to produce final magnetograms.
