# 🌌 Surya – Active Region Segmentation
## 📖 Model Overview
This repository hosts **fine-tuned weights of Surya** – a heliophysics foundation model – for the task of **solar Active Region (AR) segmentation**.
Solar Active Regions are magnetically complex structures associated with **flares** and **coronal mass ejections (CMEs)**. Within ARs, the **Polarity Inversion Line (PIL)** serves as a critical precursor of eruptions. Accurate segmentation of ARs containing PILs is essential for **space weather forecasting** and understanding solar magnetic complexity.

## 📊 Results
We benchmarked Surya against a standard UNet baseline on the ARPIL dataset.
| Model | Params | IoU | Dice Coeff |
|--------|--------|-------|------------|
| UNet | 9.2 M | 0.688 | 0.801 |
| **Surya (LoRA)** | **4.1 M** | **0.768** | **0.853** |
Surya achieves **higher segmentation quality with fewer parameters**, highlighting the benefits of foundation model pretraining and parameter-efficient adaptation.
