Abstract :
In this work we report on the transfer of image parameters that produce good results for medical images to the domain of solar image analysis. Using the first solar domain-specific benchmark dataset that contains multiple types of solar phenomena we discovered during our work for constructing a content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system for NASA´s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) mission that we could take advantage of the research on the analysis of images in the medical field. We demonstrate that, while image analysis is a very domain-specific task, there are lessons to be learned and methods to be shared between different fields. In this paper we present an extensive comparative analysis of several different domain-specific datasets in order to provide some guidance for the solar physics community on the well- researched field of medical image analysis allowing them to transfer knowledge from one applied field to their own.
