Abstract
Improving images measured through anisoplanatic turbulence conditions for horizontal and down-looking imaging applications remains a challenge in image science. We have found that on-axis adaptive optics correction of images measured under anisoplanatic conditions followed by multi-frame blind deconvoution (MFBD)-based image reconstruction provides superior final images compared to the raw data or MFBD without predection compensation. The major challenge to on-axis compensation has been the lack of a beacon for wave front sensing. In this paper we examine the utility of the scene-based wave front sensor developed in the field of solar astronomy for using an extended object as the beacon for wave front sensing.
