Atmospheric Turbulence Restoration by Diffeomorphic Image Registration and Blind Deconvolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel approach is presented in this paper to improve images which are altered by atmospheric turbulence. Two new algorithms are presented based on two combinations of a blind deconvolution block, an elastic registration block and a temporal filter block. The algorithms are tested on real images acquired in the desert in New Mexico by the NATO RTG40 group.

Anisoplanatic Image Restoration at ADFA
We have been investigating ways to restore images of objects obtained with a telescope under anisoplanatic atmospheric conditions. Anisoplanatic means that the point spread function due to atmospheric turbulence is position dependent. We began by looking at extended astronomical objects, such as craters on the moon but have turned our attention to extended objects on the earth’s surface imaged ...
متن کاملSoftware-based turbulence mitigation of short exposure image data with motion detection and background segmentation
The degree of image degradation due to atmospheric turbulence is particularly severe when imaging over long horizontal paths since the turbulence is strongest close to the ground. The most pronounced effects include image blurring and image dancing and in case of strong turbulence image distortion as well. To mitigate these effects a number of methods from the field of image processing have bee...
متن کاملDependent component analysis for blind restoration of images degraded by turbulent atmosphere
In our previous research, we applied independent component analysis (ICA) for the restoration of image sequences degraded by atmospheric turbulence. The original high-resolution image and turbulent sources were considered independent sources fromwhich the degraded image is composed of. Although the result was promising, the assumption of source independence may not be true in practice. In this ...
متن کاملTurbulence mitigation of short exposure image data using motion detection and background segmentation
Many remote sensing applications are concerned with observing objects over long horizontal paths and often the atmosphere between observer and object is quite turbulent, especially in arid or semi-arid regions. Depending on the degree of turbulence, atmospheric turbulence can cause quite severe image degradation, the foremost effects being temporal and spatial blurring. And since the observed o...
متن کاملPSO-Optimized Blind Image Deconvolution for Improved Detectability in Poor Visual Conditions
Abstract: Image restoration is a critical step in many vision applications. Due to the poor quality of Passive Millimeter Wave (PMMW) images, especially in marine and underwater environment, developing strong algorithms for the restoration of these images is of primary importance. In addition, little information about image degradation process, which is referred to as Point Spread Function (PSF...
