Abstract

Target images of range-gated imaging in adverse turbid environments still suffer from the degradation of inhomogeneous turbid medium over the laser transmission path. Based on longitudinal laser tomography, a novel image restoration method is proposed to remove the interferences of the inhomogeneous turbid medium from the degraded target images. The degradation caused by the turbid medium is approximately estimated, assisted by some prior system parameters and the backscattering images of the turbid medium, which can further be used for removal of the interferences of the turbid medium through a proper total variation model. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed image restoration method can effectively eliminate the interferences of inhomogeneous turbid medium and achieve exactly the reflectivity distribution for the target behind the turbid medium layer.
