摘要：Nothing is more important to us on Earth than the Sun. Without the heat and light of the sun, life as we know it could not exist on the earth. Sun exhibits phenomena on differnet scales, timescales and wavelength ranges. Recent solar missions have increased the rate of solar data available for study which presents both opportunities and challenges. Several satellites have been launched to observe the Sun such as STEREO (Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory) and SDO (Solar Dynamics Observatory). STEREO and SDO provide full disk images of the Sun at different cadence rates in different wavelengths with maximum resolutions of 2048�2048 and 4096�4096 pixels, respectively. STEREO mission combines two spacecrafts circulating arround the Sun to provide simultaneous views from widely spaced locations. SDO aims to study the solar atmosphere on small scales and times and in many wavelengths. STEREO and SDO missions provide huge volumes of data per day, hence it is not an easy process to download, browse and analyze significant areas of interest for these data volumes on a remote server, simply because these processes overload the existing internet and network infrastructures. In this paper, a tool for visualizing and analysing STEREO and SDO data is introduced. The aim of this tool is to help scientists to discover new phenomena and link related data sets from various instruments that are often analyzed in isolation. The proposed tool offers a number of useful image processing tools associated with activities highly focused on solar images such as: segment of active region(s), creating anaglyphs, extracting solar limb, tracking solar events etc.
