Several different international groups, such as the SDO Feature Finding Team (FFT), developed modules to detect features on the full-disk images 2. There are two other modules, namely the Extreme Ultraviolet Variability Experiment (EVE) and Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI), which generate a different type of imaging beyond the scope of this dataset.īecause of the large number of images taken by the SDO mission, automatically detecting features in the images is a necessary part of the mission. Our dataset is built from the images produced by the AIA module. Every ten to twelve seconds, the AIA module captures high-definition (4096×4096) full-disk images of the Sun in eight different wavelengths using four AIA telescopes 3. The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) is built in partnership with Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory (LMSAL). As part of the SDO mission, three independent instruments are designed for different purposes 2. SDO is a spacecraft in an inclined geosynchronous orbit around Earth capturing full-disk images of the Sun for up to ten years. The SDO mission is an attempt to obtain scientific knowledge that can help to understand the influence of the Sun on Earth 1. NASA’s Living With a Star (LWS) program initiated the Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO) mission on February 11, 2010. By improving the quality of the data with thorough curation, we anticipate a wider adoption and interest from the computer vision to the solar physics community. This publicly available resource, along with the generation source code, will accelerate computer vision research on NASA’s solar image data by reducing the amount of time spent performing data acquisition and curation from the multiple sources we have compiled. In this resource, we compile SDO solar data into a single repository in order to provide the computer vision community with a standardized and curated large-scale dataset of several hundred thousand solar events found on high resolution solar images. With such massive amounts of information, researchers have been able to produce great advances in detecting solar events. By capturing approximately 70,000 images a day, this mission has created one of the richest and biggest repositories of solar image data available to mankind. The National Aeronautics Space Agency (NASA) Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) mission has given us unprecedented insight into the Sun’s activity.
