GANs and Transformers Compared for Atmospheric Turbulence Mitigation

A new research paper published on arXiv compares Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Transformer-based models for mitigating atmospheric turbulence in images. The study, which utilized the SOTIS dataset, found that GANs excel in severely degraded conditions, while Transformers perform better with moderate to high-quality images, particularly in correcting geometric distortions. Researchers also enhanced a Transformer model, the Turbulence Mitigation Transformer (TMT), through improved training, input design, and a modified loss function, leading to consistent performance gains.
