Video Stabilization of Atmospheric Turbulence Distortion
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method to enhance the quality of a video sequence captured through a turbulent atmospheric medium. Enhancement is framed as the inference of the radiance of the distant scene, represented as a “latent image,” that is assumed to be constant throughout the video. Temporal distortion is thus zero-mean and temporal averaging produces a blurred version of the scene’s radiance, that is processed via a Sobolev gradient flow to yield the latent image in a way that is reminiscent of the “lucky region” method. Without enforcing prior knowledge, we can stabilize the video sequence while preserving fine details. We also present the well-posedness theory for the stabilizing PDE and a linear stability analysis of the numerical scheme.

Video Distortion Alleviation Using Region Based DT-CWT Fusion
A variety of image restoration methods have been proposed that estimate an improved image by processing a sequence of images. Restoring a scene distorted by atmospheric turbulence is a challenging problem in video surveillance. Image registration enables the geometric alignment of two images and is widely used in various applications in the fields of remote sensing, medical imaging and computer...
متن کاملTurbulence stabilization
We recently developed a new approach to get a stabilized image from a sequence of frames acquired through atmospheric turbulence. The goal of this algorihtm is to remove the geometric distortions due by the atmosphere movements. This method is based on a variational formulation and is efficiently solved by the use of Bregman iterations and the operator splitting method. In this paper we propose...
متن کاملRestoration of Atmospheric Turbulence-distorted Images via RPCA and Quasiconformal Maps
We address the problem of restoring a high-quality image from an observed image sequence strongly distorted by atmospheric turbulence. A novel algorithm is proposed in this paper to reduce geometric distortion as well as space-and-time-varying blur due to strong turbulence. By considering a suitable energy functional, our algorithm first obtains a sharp reference image and a subsampled image se...

متن کاملThe Efficient Outer Scale of Atmospheric Turbulence
We discuss some possibilities of introducing the distortions of an optical wave phase, propagating along vertical atmospheric path, as an integral characteristic, describing the turbulence along the path. Several models of the turbulence outer scale profile have been analyzed as well as the structural characteristic of the atmospheric refractive index fluctuations in order to find the value of ...
