METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MODIFIED WAVELENGTH DIVERSITY IMAGE COMPENSATION

Imaging methods and systems providing wavelength diversity compensation to images distorted by turbulence includes capturing a subject image set in a single image frame, with the images in the set being captured at diverse wavelengths. The compensation includes using an error metric insensitive to variation in object brightness between a region of interest of an image and a corresponding region of interest in a second image in the set that is at a diverse wavelength.
