  • Abstract
    Solar imaging is currently an active area of research. In this study a 3D modeling technique for magnetic field lines on Sun is provided. Magnetic field foot prints are detected from SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) / MDI (Michelson Doppler Imager) Magnetogram images. Using negative and positive footprints possible dipole pairs are found according to their proximity. Then using this data, 3D models are built on bipolar coordinates and placed on detected pairs after transformations.
