Although many long-range imaging systems are designed to support extended vision
applications, a natural obstacle to their operation is degradation due to atmospheric …

The influence of atmospheric turbulence on acquired imagery makes image interpretation
and scene analysis extremely difficult and reduces the effectiveness of conventional …

Whole-body biometric recognition is an important area of research due to its vast
applications in law enforcement, border security, and surveillance. This paper presents the …

Since the seminal work of Andrey Kolmogorov in the early 1940's, imaging through
atmospheric turbulence has grown from a pure scientific pursuit to an important subject …

Degradation due to atmospheric turbulence is common while capturing images at long
ranges. To mitigate the degradation due to turbulence which includes deformation and blur …

Recovering images distorted by atmospheric turbulence is a challenging inverse problem
due to the stochastic nature of turbulence. Although numerous turbulence mitigation (TM) …

In many applications of long-range imaging, such as surveillance, we are faced with a
scenario where we have to recover and identify facial images appearing in the captured …

For the simulation of anisoplanatic optical turbulence, split-step propagation is the gold
standard. Within the context of the degradations being limited to phase distortions, one …

Face and person recognition have recently achieved remarkable success under challenging
scenarios, such as off-pose and cross-spectrum matching. However, long-range recognition …

Blind face restoration (BFR) from severely degraded face images in the wild is a highly ill-
posed problem. Due to the complex unknown degradation, existing generative works …
