Atmosphericturbulence canseverelydegrade the qualityof images(videosequences) producedby long
range observationsystems,renderingthe imagesunsuitable forvision applications such as surveillance
or scene inspection.The degradationarisesfromthe complicated,randomfluctuations in the refractive
index of the air, caused by the fluctuations in temperature. Sample Data will be provided during
implementation.Usersof thissystem: The tool will be used in video surveillance solution. Technology
that can help address the issue: Open source image processing libraries like OpenCV can be used.
Desired Solution : Restoring a scene distorted by atmospheric turbulence is the scope of the Project /
Problem statement.

The recentadvance in the use of image processingapplicationshasbenefittedmanyareas including the
forensic and digital verification techniques in cybercrime detection. At the same time the features of
image processing techniques are used for producing digital evidence in criminal activities. Image
processing tools have been associated with a variety of crimes, including counterfeiting of currency

issue:Opensource image processinglibrarieslike OpenCV,AItechniquescanbe used.DesiredSolution:
The solution should focus on the use of image processing tools for the examination of computer-
manipulated documents. The altered documents once examined using a suite of currently available
image processing tools should be capable of detecting computer-based manipulations of written
documents.
