  1. Coronal White Light 3D Reconstruction Newmark, Cook, Socker, Reiser, Crane Naval Research Lab Liewer, De Jong Jet Propulsion Lab

  2. Goal • Develop, Test, Apply 3D reconstruction techniques to solar features from low corona through heliosphere to 1 AU. • Utilize B, pB, temporal, 2D white light coronagraph images and synthetic models from 2 vantage points, construct (time dependent) 3D electron density distribution

  3. Learn to Walk before Running...

  4. Science • Polar Plumes - hydrostatic equilibrium sol’n of density vs. height, tube expansion, statistics • Equatorial Streamers - projection of sheets, effect of AR’s, compare to 3D recon tie points (Liewer 2000), density enhancements vs. folds • CME’s - models - prepare for SECCHI, effect of observing angle, speed, etc.

  5. Key Aspects • Renderer - Physics (Thomson scattering), geometry, optically thin plasma • Reconstruction Algorithm - PIXON, underdetermined system, speed (large # pts) • Visualization - 3D electron density distribution, time dependent • Data - LASCO polar plumes, streamers include 3D densities rendered from tie points, synthetic CME models

  6. PIXON - What • Pina, Puetter, Yahil (1993, 1995) - high performance, non-linear, non-parametric, locally adaptive, iterative image reconstruction • Commercial package - used in radio, HXT, remote sensing, etc; develop specific code jointly - tomography from limited (2) views - mostly developed from SBIRS; data sampling fcn - renderer/transpose; visualization • Full 3D reconstruction of Ne

  7. PIXON - Why • Standard tomography-not applicable, parametric least squares - too slow; maximum entropy methods do not work well on local variations; minimum complexity solution - works locally fewer artifacts • Speed of 3D reconstruction - scales as N, estimates <10 iterations - intelligence stop when declining complexity per iteration drops 512x512=2 min,256x256x256 ~2hrs,

  8. PIXON - Details • Simple Problem, D=observation, I=reconstructed image, H=PSF, K=pixon kernel, Ф=pseudoimage, N=noise D(x) = dyH(x,y)I(y) + N(x) I(y) = dzK(y,z) Ф(z) • 2 Step soln a) minimize 2 by Ф, b) minimize # pixons and maximize size locally - each part is iterative and iterate steps • PIXON shapes - spherical, can change

  9. Conclusions • 3D reconstructions are possible • Direct application to SECCHI will require substantial effort and collaboration
