Analysing Parameter for Nuclear Explosion Using Digital Images

Nuclear explosion produce immediate and delayed destructive effects, so identifying parameters has become inevitable for detecting nuclear tests conducted anywhere in the world. The energy evolved in a nuclear explosion is enormous, which is the characteristic and hence a vital parameter for a nuclear explosion detection. The proposed technique is to compute energy evolved out of an atmospheric nuclear explosion from images. Instruments like Magnetograms, Bhangmeters, aerial photographs etc., are used to record the explosions. Magnetogram images and other images such as JPEG, BMB types are considered in this study. Energy is computed for the above images using Ising model and cooccurrence matrix. Energy parameter results from the study can be used to confirm nuclear tests.
