1 Introduction

Adaptive optics (abbreviated as AO) is developed in orderto overcome the interference of atmospheric turbulence onthe telescope imaging and it can measure and correct theoptical wavefront phase of atmospheric turbulence in real-time The technology matures its application is extendingto civilian fields besides the fields of large telescopes andlaser engineering [1] In recent years with the development ofadaptive optics technology many large ground-based opticaltelescopes are equipped with adaptive optics system [2] in theworld

When surface-to-air object imaging (eg astral target) isobserved by ground-based optical telescopes adaptive opticssystem can only realize part of the wavefront error correctionand the information of high frequency on target suppressionand attenuation seriously [3 4] There are many factors such

as atmospheric turbulence the AO system error and photonnoise on imaging path Therefore we acquire more clearimages carrying on image restoration before adaptive opticscorrection At present there aremany image restoration algo-rithms to overcome the influence of atmospheric turbulencesuch as iterative blind deconvolution algorithm (abbreviatedas IBD) [4 5] IBD based on Richardson-Lucy iteration(abbreviated as RL-IBD) IBD based on theWiener algorithm(abbreviated as Wiener-IBD) and the algorithm based onthe expectationmaximization algorithm (abbreviated as EM)[6 7]

This paper proposes a blind image restoration method bymultiframe iteration with improved adaptive optical imagesbased on expectation maximization algorithm Section 2introduces the method of adaptive optics image restorationin detail including constructing adaptive optics model ofimaging process deducingmodel of point spread function on

2 Restoration Algorithm ofAdaptive Optics Images

Adaptive optics system can measure control and correct theerror of optical wavefront in real-time Figure 1 shows theprinciple diagram of an adaptive optical system for imagingcompensationThe system includes wavefront sensor (abbre-viated as WFS) the deformable mirror (abbreviated as DM)high speed processor for wavefront and other parts Thesystem can measure the distortion of optical wavefront inreal-time which is caused by the influence of atmosphericturbulence and convert it to corresponding controlling signaladding to the wavefront correction element which cancompensate distortion of wavefront in real-time and theoptical telescope would be able to get close to target imagingfor diffraction AO images are corrected by AO system butits compensation or correction is not sufficient in order toget clearer target images AO images restoration algorithm isresearched

21 The Imaging Process of Adaptive Optics System Con-sidering the normal optical imaging model first of all theproper adaptive optics imagingmodel is set up which lays the

foundation of restoring high-quality adaptive optical imagesThe acquisition process of adaptive optics image model canconsist of a degradation function and an additive noise[5] the imaging process of AO in spatial frequency can beexpressed as follows

119892 (119909) = (119891 lowast ℎ) (119909) + 119899 (119909)

119898(119909) represent the 119898th frame of short

exposure AO image with degradation for the target andits corresponding PSF respectively This paper adopts theselection techniques of frames referred to in [6] as the imagepreprocessing which picks up the images with better qualityfrom image sequence of short exposure images in order toimprove the solution of blind convolution and convergenceof iteration

22 Model of Point Spread Function on AO Images In adap-tive optics system the residual error of wavefront correctionmainly consists of incomplete correction error by turbulenceand noise of closed-loop system

When AO system works in closed-loop the transfererror function is the transfer function of wavefront phaseperturbation caused by atmospheric turbulence and thenoise of system introduced bywavefront sensor is closed-looptransfer function [4] Theoretically the mathematical modelof the PSF after closed-loop correction of adaptive opticssystem is shown as follows

Adaptive optics system can measure control and correct theerror of optical wavefront in real-time Figure 1 shows theprinciple diagram of an adaptive optical system for imagingcompensationThe system includes wavefront sensor (abbre-viated as WFS) the deformable mirror (abbreviated as DM)high speed processor for wavefront and other parts Thesystem can measure the distortion of optical wavefront inreal-time which is caused by the influence of atmosphericturbulence and convert it to corresponding controlling signaladding to the wavefront correction element which cancompensate distortion of wavefront in real-time and theoptical telescope would be able to get close to target imagingfor diffraction AO images are corrected by AO system butits compensation or correction is not sufficient in order toget clearer target images AO images restoration algorithm isresearched

4 Conclusions

In this paper according to the characteristic of adaptiveoptics image we establish a degradation image model formultiframe exposure image series and the mathematicalmodel of the point spread function (PSF) for adaptive opticalsystem after closed loop correction is derived the PSF modelbased on phase error and changing over time is solved andwe use the power spectral density of image and constrainsupport domain method for AO image denoising processingFinally this paper applied the actual AO imaging systemparameters as prior knowledge combined with regularizationtechnique to improve the EM blind deconvolution algo-rithm Experimental results show that the established blinddeconvolution algorithm based on improved EM methodcan effectively eliminate the atmospheric turbulence andeliminate the noise pollution brought by the AO closed-loopcorrection which improves the resolution of the adaptiveoptical image The image process of AO observed imagesshows that the restoration quality is better than the samekind of IBD algorithm It also shows that the restoration ofbinary images using the algorithmof this paper has carried on

the identification of PSF and completed the AO image afterprocessing the results of actual AO image restoration haveimportant application value

4 Conclusions

In this paper according to the characteristic of adaptiveoptics image we establish a degradation image model formultiframe exposure image series and the mathematicalmodel of the point spread function (PSF) for adaptive opticalsystem after closed loop correction is derived the PSF modelbased on phase error and changing over time is solved andwe use the power spectral density of image and constrainsupport domain method for AO image denoising processingFinally this paper applied the actual AO imaging systemparameters as prior knowledge combined with regularizationtechnique to improve the EM blind deconvolution algo-rithm Experimental results show that the established blinddeconvolution algorithm based on improved EM methodcan effectively eliminate the atmospheric turbulence andeliminate the noise pollution brought by the AO closed-loopcorrection which improves the resolution of the adaptiveoptical image The image process of AO observed imagesshows that the restoration quality is better than the samekind of IBD algorithm It also shows that the restoration ofbinary images using the algorithmof this paper has carried on

the identification of PSF and completed the AO image afterprocessing the results of actual AO image restoration haveimportant application value
