A technique for determining the vector displacement that maximizes the spatially local cross-correlation between an image and a reference image as a continuous function of the image space is presented. This is applied to solar observations of granulation made during a condition of rapidly changing atmospheric distortion, a particular turbulence condition wherein features are remapped without loss of spatial resolution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
