The Johns Hopkins University received a $500,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems on March 15, 2021 to support research titled "CAREER: SEEING THROUGH ATMOSPHERIC TURBULENCE: IMAGE RESTORATION AND UNDERSTANDING USING DEEP CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORKS." The research is funded through the NSF's Engineering program (CFDA #47.041), which aims to improve quality of life and economic strength through engineering innovation and excellence.
Specifically, the award will support the development of deep convolutional neural network techniques to restore and understand images degraded by atmospheric turbulence. Such capabilities could enable improved imaging through turbulent media like the atmosphere, benefiting applications in astronomy, remote sensing, and defense. The research is being conducted at The Johns Hopkins University through February 2026.
