A Tutorial on Imaging through Turbulence
Abstract
This paper is a brief tutorial on the "forward problem" of image formation in the presence of atmospheric turbulence, and various strategies for mitigating the effects of turbulence on imaging systems. The talk begins with a brief review of the history of the field, followed by a discussion of the origins of turbulence. The optical effects of turbulence are then reviewed. Finally, mitigation strategies including speckle imaging, blind deconvolution, and adaptive optics are presented. This presentation is intended for an audience which already has some knowledge and experience in the imaging and image processing areas.
