Here is an academic example of edges and ridges detection with multiscale selection.
Figure 1: Academic example: an angular
gaussian (128x128x8bits)
Figure 1a: Ridges(*)
Figure 1b: Edges(*)
(*) The scales range from 0.2 to 180, that is from 1 to 80 pixels (filter width)

Here is a color visualisation of a cumulated multiscale ridges detection in the four following wavelengths:
171 Å |
195 Å |
284 Å |
304 Å |

| Figure 2: |
Each color represents the wavelength of the ridges. There is a thresholding of 0.5% in the ridge measure. |
- How to link the information of different wavelengths ?
Between edges and ridges ?
Purposes:
- Find (automatically) magnetic loops's feet;
- Quantify magnetic loops;
- Classify coronal holes;
- Find polar plumes orientation ...
- How to use the wavelet machinery to decrease
the computational time ?
