Abstract :
Preliminary results from the evaluation of time sequenced high speed framing camera images from high energy compact toroid experiments are discussed. The authors consider detail enhancement and correlation of structural detail with magnetic field probe data. The processing of these images and the correlation of enhanced images with other diagnostic data is a new procedure to this research effort of formation of a toroidal geometry plasma. The results of incorporating this capability into the evaluation of other data from the experiment, and the results of correlation of information from the enhancement of the time-sequenced images with other diagnostics are discussed
