[ascl:2508.008] SoFT: Solar Feature Tracking suite

SoFT (Solar Feature Tracking) detects and tracks small-scale magnetic elements in the Sun’s atmosphere. The code analyzes their dynamics to address questions on coronal heating and solar wind acceleration. It uses threshold masking to reduce the impact of noise, identify peaks, and uses local maxima as markers and segment the image based on the EDT gradient field and other techniques to detect and identify magnetic elements. SoFT matches features across frames to determine associations, and then estimates and compiles the physical properties of magnetic structures, including barycenters, magnetic flux, velocity, and others.
