First Claim
1. A method for improving a scene obscured by airborne particles comprising:
- mathematically decomposing a first image of the scene into a first decomposition, wherein the first decomposition includes a first image subspace of an object of interest in the image having singular values and vectors of the first image;
mathematically decomposing a second image of the scene into a second decomposition, wherein the second decomposition includes a second image subspace of the object of interest having singular values and vectors of the second image that includes an airborne particle subspace associated with the airborne particles of the second image;
tracking the object of interest based, at least in part, on the first image subspace and the second image subspace to determine a location of the object in the second image; and
generating an improved image that removes at least some of the airborne particles obscuring the object in the second image, wherein the improved image is created based, at least in part, on the location of the object, the second image subspace and the airborne particle subspace by tracking changes of the singular values and vectors, wherein the generating an improved image of the object is based, at least in part, on tracked changes of the singular values and vectors.

Abstract
A system includes a way of improving an image obscured by airborne particles. The system includes a decomposition processor and an image generation processor. The decomposition processor decomposes an object of interest moving in a first image at a first rate of speed into at least one first subspace vector. This decomposition processor also decomposes fine particles moving at a different rate of speed than the object in the first image into at least one second subspace vector. The fine particles obscure the object of interest in a second image. The image generation processor generates based, at least in part on the first subspace vector and the second subspace vector, an image of the object without some of the fine particles obscuring the object of interest.
