Abstract
A system for forecasting when solar flares will occur and identifying their possible locations creates a mask to analyze an image of a solar disk. The system also creates an intensity histogram using the solar disk. Additionally, the system stores a resulting full-disk image and a sub-image identifying possible flare signature sites. Further, the system applies a method to filter out false positive detections by using an equation that enhances true positive pre-flare signatures and minimizes false positive signatures.
