Abstract
A method for mitigating turbulence in an image. A set of initial turbulence parameters is chosen. A fast de-turbulence algorithm is applied using each initial turbulence parameter to an original image, resulting in an enhanced image. The sharpness of each enhanced image is measured. The sharpness is recorded along with the corresponding initial turbulence parameter in a sharpness curve. The knee of the sharpness curve is calculated. An estimated turbulence parameter ris determined according to the knee. A de-turbulence algorithm is applied to the original image using r.
