Imaging through atmospheric turbulence is a fundamental problem for long-range imaging systems. Purdue i2Lab has specialities in several aspects of the subject:
Wave optics theory
Turbulence simulators
Forward imaging models that can be used for deep neural networks
Key concept: Integrate Cn2 along the path instead of evaluating individual turbulence segments
