Abstract

We will present signal processing techniques based on shape analysis of the time-frequency signatures of chorus elements in the Van Allen Radiation Belts. Specifically, we will employ the Radon transform and the Distance Transform, which are well-known for isolating local shapes and patterns in the image processing literature, to achieve automated detection of the spectral morphology of chorus elements. In particular, we will introduce “shrink-wrapping” techniques that quantify the salient features defining the microstructure of chorus elements. We will present preliminary results based on case studies of the EMFISIS data from the Van Allen Radiation Belts mission.
