As a comprehensive problem, video enhancement includes many subset problems, including super-resolution, noise reduction, increase of dynamic range, to name a few. In this paper, we focus on a special subset problem - scintillation removal. Scintillation is one type of image distortions caused by the propagation of visible light through unstable atmosphere. One commonly known source for disturbing atmosphere is heat. We propose an image processing method to remove scintillation in video. This method explores the temporal information redundancy in video and is based on image registration and image fusion. We examine the scintillation problem in detail and explain why we take an image registration plus fusion approach. Finally we demonstrate successful application of scintillation removal on real video clips.
