The automated detection of solar features is a technique which is relativel=
y underused but if we are to keep up with the flow of data from spacecraft = such as the recently launched Solar Dynamics Observatory, then such techniq= ues will be very valuable to the solar community. Automated detection techn= iques allow us to examine a large set of data in a...
