Super-resolution in turbulent videos: making profit from damage

TL;DR

This paper introduces a method to enhance the resolution of turbulent videos by exploiting local instabilities, validated through experiments on simulated and real videos.

Contribution

It presents a novel algorithm that leverages local instabilities in turbulent videos to achieve super-resolution beyond traditional sampling limits.

Findings

Effective super-resolution achieved on turbulent videos

Algorithm verified on both simulated and real footage

Discussion of potential and limitations of the method

Abstract

It is shown that one can make use of local instabilities in turbulent video frames to enhance image resolution beyond the limit defined by the image sampling rate. The paper outlines the processing algorithm, presents its experimental verification on simulated and real-life videos and discusses its potentials and limitations.
