  1. Edge detection of high temperature plasmas Laurence Choi Sean Burke

  2. Plasmas are all over the place • High temperature • Often transient • Major focus of energy research

  3. UW has 3 major fusion expts. • HSX • MST • Pegasus • Short pulse periods • Transient instabilities • Equilibrium Calculations

  4. Equilibria for stability, Te and Ne • Fast (>1kHz) imaging required • Mild distortion from lens • Two measurments: • Qualitative • Quantitative

  5. Qualitative • Fast measurement • Preconfigured mask • Recalibrate camera adjustments • Integrate rows • Find max ∂I/∂x

  6. Qualitative • Fiducial mark • Define coords • CS is R = 0 • Draw grid • F-th inversion?

  7. Plasma Detection Main Problems • Background (e.g.walls) • Distinguishing edges Methods used • Sobel Operator • Closing • Region Filling • Boundary Extraction

  8. Emphasize Edges • Emphasize horizontal edges using Sobel Operator:

  9. Filling in the Gaps • Fill in the gaps using the closing operation: dilation followed by erosion: A = Sobel Edges of Image B =

  10. Removing Background Noise • Region Filling • Shortcut: in every frame there are regions where we don’t care about the fidelity: paint over in white/black.

  11. Boundary Extraction • Morphological Boundary operator used to determine the edges of the plasma. Note that small anomalies still exist.
