Abstract: In day to day life, new technologies are emerging in the field of Image Processing, especially in the field of Astronomy and Astrophysics. The most eminent celestial body is the Sun. Through Image Processing, important features of the Sun are studied. The objective of this study is segmentation of the solar features (Active Regions, Coronal Holes, Background, and X-Ray Bright Points), estimation of intensity, and determining the individual intensity of the solar features for a period of one year (2016). The proposed methodology for Segmentation is Thresholding technique. This technique is applied to the images obtained from the Hinode X-ray Telescope (Hinode/XRT) to measure intensity variations of solar features
