Single viewpoint: SOHO/EIT, TRACEUse B-Field for feature-recognition
(Wiegelmann et al., Sol. Phys. 2005)
• Extrapolate coronal magnetic field from photosphere.
• Project 3D field lines onto an EUV-image.
• Emissivity and gradient along projected field lines.
• Alternative-1:Compare field lines and plasma.How well are they aligned?
• Alternative-2: Extract 1-D loops out of the EUV-images and compare with projections of magnetic field lines thereafter.

Can we extend this method to solve the correspondence problem of STEREO-images?
• A 3D magnetic field lines is unique.
• Project field lines onto EUVI-images[or loops extracted from EUVI].
• Measure distance of loops and projectedmagnetic field lines in both images.
• Loops close to the same field line inboth images are very likely associated.

• Epipolar geometry reduces 3D-reconstructionproblem to several 2D problems.
• Coordinate system is defined by spacecraft locations and rotation axis of the Sun.
3. GeometricStereoscopy
From Inhester,ISSI 2006
![Page 19: 1 Solar stereoscopy - where we are and which developments do we require to progress? Thomas Wiegelmann, Bernd Inhester, Li Feng, Judith de Patoul](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2a5503460f94c44d3f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
From Inhester,ISSI 2006
• Epipolar geometry provides necessary criteriumfor loop association: Related loops in bothimages must intersect with same epipolar lines.
• Epipolar range often not easy to specify,because ends of loops can be very faint=> Parts of loops not visible in one orboth images.
![Page 20: 1 Solar stereoscopy - where we are and which developments do we require to progress? Thomas Wiegelmann, Bernd Inhester, Li Feng, Judith de Patoul](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2a5503460f94c44d3f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Reconstruction ambiguity
Reconstruction of east-west orientation loops has two solutions, which one is correct?
Two-viewpoint images are not sufficient
3. GeometricStereoscopy
![Page 21: 1 Solar stereoscopy - where we are and which developments do we require to progress? Thomas Wiegelmann, Bernd Inhester, Li Feng, Judith de Patoul](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2a5503460f94c44d3f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
4. Estimatereconstruction
error in 3D
• Features tangential to epipolar lines have highestreconstruction error.
• For east-west coronal loops this means that largest reconstruction errors occur at the loop top.
From Inhester,ISSI 2006
curve segment in-clined to epipolar line
curve segment par-rallel to epipolar line
![Page 22: 1 Solar stereoscopy - where we are and which developments do we require to progress? Thomas Wiegelmann, Bernd Inhester, Li Feng, Judith de Patoul](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2a5503460f94c44d3f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
• 3D reconstruction error depends on the resolution w of EUVI-images and on the angle between projection planes.
• Projection angle is smaller or equal as angle between STEREO-A or B.
• For loop segments in the epipolarplane the projection angle is zeroand the error infinite.
4. Estimatereconstruction
error in 3D
From Inhester,ISSI 2006

4. Estimatereconstruction

• Small separation angle between spacecraft:Association problem easy to solve,Large 3D reconstruction error.
• Large separation angle:Association problem difficult to solve,Small 3D reconstruction error.

The reconstructed 3D loops have ambiguities.

Magnetic modeling with different models (c) potential,d) linear force-free, e) nonlinear force-free). Yellowdotted lines show the original exact loops. We used (artificial) EUV-images from two different viewpoints to constrain the magnetic loops.

Geometric stereoscopy. We removed ambiguities (multiplesolutions) in the stereoscopic reconstruction by choosing thesolution which is closest to a given magnetic field model.(Here we used the worst model, a potential field, which was,however, sufficient to remove the ambiguities.)

• 3D plumes are more horizontal than a dipole field.• Plumes are in hydrostatic equilibrium. • Temperature derived from the density scale height is
higher than electron temperature.

Stereoscopy vs. coronal field extrapolation
• Vector magnetogram data (Hinode/SOT) areessential for nonlinear force-free field modeling.
• Unfortunately Hinode-FOV covered only a smallfraction (about 10%) of area spanned by loopsreconstructed from STEREO-SECCHI images.
• Quantitative comparison was unsatisfactory.• Plan: Compare magnetic field extrapolations
from SDO/HMI and stereoscopy with STEREO/SECCHI and SDO/AIA.
• Can we combine extrapolations from photosphericmeasurements with stereoscopy?
