'I’lie combination of the atmosphere and the imaging system is modelled as a linear system with a stochastic point spread function (PSF). ddie mean and the covariance of the PSF are evaluated and plotted for a variety of system parameters and atmospheric conditions. The results predicted by this work are shown to be in very good agreement with experimental results published in the literature.ix, 49 leavesEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAtmospheric turbulenceatmospheric imagingPSFQC880.4.T8 E73 1993Atmospheric turbulence.Imaging systems.Statistical characterization of the point spread function (PSF) of a turbulence degraded imaging systemThesis
