Claim One:
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.
