N2 - Imaging in atmospheric turbulence and target recognition in cluttered environments have been research topics for many years. Currently, there are some well-established techniques for image restoration and recognition; however, if the atmospheric turbulence becomes a severe scattering medium and the surrounding environment is very cluttered, most conventional methods, such as inverse filtering and Wiener filtering, will be inadequate for correcting and recognizing the captured images. In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate nonlinear dynamic range compression techniques for image restoration and correlation via two-beam coupling and four wave mixing in organic photorefractive films.
