Modern digital imaging systems are susceptible to degraded imagery because of atmospheric turbulence. Notwithstanding significant improvements in resolution and speed, significant degradation of captured imagery still hampers system designers and operators. Several techniques exist for mitigating the effects of the turbulence on captured imagery, we will concentrate on the effects of Bi-Spectrum Speckle Averaging [1], [2] approach to image enhancement, on a data-set captured in-conjunction with meteorological data.
