We present the development of a novel technique for numerical simulation and analysis of wide field-of-view (FOV) incoherent and anisoplanatic imaging of an object through volume turbulence. This technique is based on the recently developed brightness function method [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A, v. 22, p. 126 (2005)]. We present computer simulation results demonstrating the anisoplanatic turbulence effects on an object image quality.
