Turbulence-degraded image frames are distorted by both turbulent deformations and space–
time-varying blurs. To suppress these effects, we propose a multi-frame reconstruction
scheme to recover a latent image from the observed distorted image sequence. Recent
approaches are commonly based on registering each frame to a reference image, by which
geometric turbulent deformations can be estimated and a sharp image can be restored. A
major challenge is that a fine reference image is usually unavailable, as every turbulence …
