Yes / In this paper, we introduce two novel models for processing real-life satellite images to quantify and then
visualise their magnetic structures in 3D. We believe this multidisciplinary work is a real convergence between
image processing, 3D visualization and solar physics. The first model aims to calculate the value of the magnetic
complexity in active regions and the solar disk. A series of experiments are carried out using this model and a
relationship has been indentified between the calculated magnetic complexity values and solar flare events. The
second model aims to visualise the calculated magnetic complexities in 3D colour maps in order to identify the
locations of eruptive regions on the Sun. Both models demonstrate promising results and they can be potentially
used in the fields of solar imaging, space weather and solar flare prediction and forecasting.
