Abstract
As light passes through atmospheric turbulence, variations in the ambient refractive index cause fluctuations and drift in light intensity, resulting in severe image distortion that significantly limits its practical applications in imaging. Ghost imaging, which leverages the second-order coherence of the optical field, offers several advantages, including high noise immunity, low light source requirements, and single-pixel imaging, making it highly effective for imaging under turbulent conditions. In this paper, we propose a computational ghost imaging method for atmospheric turbulence under low sampling conditions. The method employs Coiflet-wavelet decomposition to extract low-frequency wavelet coefficients from the Hadamard pattern, arranging them in ascending order to prioritize useful information and enhance reconstruction quality. Comparative with other optimized methods demonstrate that our approach achieves superior imaging performance, highlighting its potential for applications in atmospheric turbulence imaging.
