An Automatic Approach for Grouping Sunspots and Calculating Relative Sunspot Number on SDO/HMI Continuum Images

The relative sunspot number is one of the major parameters for the study of long-term solar activity. The automatic calculation of the relative sunspot number is more stable and accurate as compared to manual methods. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that can detect sunspots, and divide them i...
