• Abstract: Atmospheric turbulence degrades image quality by introducing blur and geometric tilt distortions, posing significant challenges to downstream computer vision tasks. Existing single-image and multi-frame methods struggle with the highly ill-posed nature of this problem due to the compositional complexity of turbulence-induced distortions. To address this, we propose EvTurb, an event guided turbulence removal framework that leverages high-speed event streams to decouple blur and tilt effects. EvTurb decouples blur and tilt effects by modeling event-based turbulence formation, specifically through a novel two-step event-guided network: event integrals are first employed to reduce blur in the coarse outputs. This is followed by employing a variance map, derived from raw event streams, to eliminate the tilt distortion for the refined outputs. Additionally, we present TurbEvent, the first real-captured dataset featuring diverse turbulence scenarios. Experimental results demonstrate that EvTurb surpasses state-of-the-art methods while maintaining computational efficiency.

  Air turbulence forecasting can help airlines avoid hazardous turbulence, guide routes that keep passengers safe, maximize efficiency, reduce costs. Traditional forecasting approaches rely on painstakingly customized turbulence indexes, which are less effective in dynamic and complex weather conditions. We propose a machine learning based turbulence forecasting system due to two challenges: (1) Complex-temporal correlations, and (2) scarcity, very limited turbulence labels can be obtained.
