Abstract

Based on the principle of correlation tracking algorithm, the effectiveness of Cross Correlation coefficient and Absolute Difference algorithms for the low contrast extended objects such as solar granulation and the sunspot is studied. The tilt signals computed by computer post- processing are presented for the successively acquired solar granulation images. Moreover, the contrasts of the long exposure images of the solar granulation and sunspot without and with tilt removal are compared.
