An upgraded method for reconstructing 3-dimensional structure of aurora from stereo images
We have been studying reconstruction of auroral 3-D luminous structure from stereo images. We have used the model function method for this problem. In this method, auroral structure is expressed by an appropriate function with some parameters, which are determined by iterative calculations. The auro...

We have been studying reconstruction of auroral 3-D luminous structure from stereo images. We have used the model function method for this problem.
