In this paper, we will show the initial results of applying our Automated Solar Activity Prediction (ASAP) system for the short-term prediction of significant solar flares to SDO data. This automated system is cur-rently working in real-time mode with SOHO/MDI images and its results are available online (http://spaceweather.inf.brad.ac.uk/) whenever a new solar image available. This system inte-grates image processing and machine learning to deliver these predictions. A machine learning-based system is designed to analyse years of sunspots and flares data to extract knowledge and to create associations that can be represented using computer-based learning rules. An imaging-based real time system that provides automated detection, grouping and then clas-sification of recent sunspots based on the McIntosh classification and integrated within this system. The results of current feature detections and flare predictions of ASAP using SOHO data will be compared to those results of ASAP using SDO data and will also be presented in this paper.
