Blurred image recovery by a phase-processing method with tilt correction.

We present an improved method that incorporates tilt correction for blurred image recovery. A previously proposed method, which can compensate image blurring due to atmospheric turbulence, was improved to increase recovered image quality by correcting the tilt effect resulting from, e.g., a telescope's tracking jitter. Real-image analysis based on data from a 1.5 m diameter telescope with an infrared camera as well as from a computer simulation were performed. The results suggest that using the tilt-correction method yields an image quality that is much better than that obtained without the correction.

Recovery of blurred images obtained through turbulent media.

Method for recovering blurred images taken through turbulent media, such as the atmosphere is presented. In this method amplitude and phase of the object's image are separately determined by special techniques of data processing, and finally the original image can be recovered. Principle and algorithm are described and the techniques to determine amplitude and phase are introduced by use of the results of computer simulations as well as light propagation experiments. As a demonstration to verify the utility of this method, images recovered by this method by use of data taken through a telescope of 1.5 m diameter, and the results of a computer simulation with atmospheric turbulence are shown. The results suggest that the presented method is well suited for the retrieval of blurred images.
