论文摘要
尽管许多远程成像系统旨在支持扩展视力应用，但由于大气湍流，其操作的自然障碍是降解。大气湍流通过引入模糊和几何变形而导致图像质量的显着降解。近年来，在文献中提出了各种基于深度学习的单图像缓解方法，包括基于CNN的基于CNN和基于GAN的反转方法，这些方法试图消除图像中的失真。但是，其中一些方法很难训练，并且通常无法重建面部特征并产生不切实际的结果，尤其是在高湍流的情况下。降级扩散概率模型（DDPM）最近由于其稳定的训练过程及其产生高质量图像的能力而获得了一些吸引力。在本文中，我们提出了第一个基于DDPM的解决方案，用于缓解大气湍流问题。我们还提出了一种快速采样技术，用于减少条件DDPM的推理时间。对合成和现实世界数据进行了广泛的实验，以显示我们模型的重要性。为了促进进一步的研究，所有代码和预处理的模型均可在http://github.com/nithin-gk/at-ddpm上获得。
Although many long-range imaging systems are designed to support extended vision applications, a natural obstacle to their operation is degradation due to atmospheric turbulence. Atmospheric turbulence causes significant degradation to image quality by introducing blur and geometric distortion. In recent years, various deep learning-based single image atmospheric turbulence mitigation methods, including CNN-based and GAN inversion-based, have been proposed in the literature which attempt to remove the distortion in the image. However, some of these methods are difficult to train and often fail to reconstruct facial features and produce unrealistic results especially in the case of high turbulence. Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) have recently gained some traction because of their stable training process and their ability to generate high quality images. In this paper, we propose the first DDPM-based solution for the problem of atmospheric turbulence mitigation. We also propose a fast sampling technique for reducing the inference times for conditional DDPMs. Extensive experiments are conducted on synthetic and real-world data to show the significance of our model. To facilitate further research, all codes and pretrained models are publically available at http://github.com/Nithin-GK/AT-DDPM
