Patent ID: 7139067

Claim:
A system for three-dimensional imaging comprising: a first light source producing a first output including two or more pulses; means for directing said first output to a target; receiving means operable to receive a portion of said first output reflected from said target through atmospheric turbulence; a first image sensor operable to produce two or more two-dimensional image slices of said target; a second image sensor operable to detect two or more second sensor images of said target; means for multiframe blind deconvolution operable to determine a point spread function from said two or more second sensor images; means for deconvolution operable to deconvolve said two or more two-dimensional image slices using said point spread function and to produce two or more deblurred two-dimensional image slices; and means for combining said deblurred two-dimensional image slices operable to form a three-dimensional image of said target.
