Abstract
High-spatial-resolution images of the solar corona acquired in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV), most notably with the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) instrument on the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) reveal the abundance of dynamic events which range from flaring bright points and jets to erupting prominences and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). In this work we present novel techniques to extract such dynamic events from the more steady background corona using 17.1 nm SDO-AIA images. The techniques presented here treat any time series of coronal images as a matrix that can be decomposed into two matrices representing the background and the dynamic component, respectively. The latter has the properties of a so-called sparse matrix, and the proposed methods are classified as methods based on sparse representations. The proposed methods are the median-filter method, the principal component pursuit, and the dynamic-mode decomposition, all of which include data pre-processing using the noise-adaptive fuzzy equalization method. The study reveals that the median-filter method and the dynamic-mode decomposition enhance all motions in the time series and produce similar results. On the other hand, the principal component pursuit enables the clear differentiation of CMEs from the background corona, thus providing a valuable tool for the characterization of their acceleration profiles in the low corona as seen in the EUV.
