• Abstract: Atmospheric Turbulence (AT) correction is a challenging restoration task as it consists of two distortions: geometric distortion and spatially variant blur. Diffusion models have shown impressive accomplishments in photo-realistic image synthesis and beyond. In this paper, we propose a novel deep conditional diffusion model under a variational inference framework to solve the AT correction problem. We use this framework to improve performance by learning latent prior information from the input and degradation processes. We use the learned information to further condition the diffusion model. Experiments are conducted in a comprehensive synthetic AT dataset. We show that the proposed framework achieves good quantitative and qualitative results.

  Inverse tasks can be formulated as inferring a posterior distribution over data. This is however challenging in diffusion models since the nonlinear and iterative nature of the diffusion process renders the posterior intractable. We propose a variational approach that by design seeks to approximate the true posterior distribution.

  Atmospheric turbulence causes significant degradation to image quality by introducing blur and geometric distortion. Various deep learning-based single image atmospheric turbulence mitigation methods, including CNN-based and GAN inversion-based, have been proposed. Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) have recently gained some traction because of their stable training process and their ability to generate high quality images.
