      Table 1. Limitations of various target atmospheric disturbance image processing methods

      Image processing method of target atmospheric disturbanceLimitation
      Cross-correlation methodThe resolution of processing results is reduced, the calculation accuracy is poor, the detection effect is easily affected by the characteristics of flow field and environmental noise, and the application is limited in complex environment
      Optical flow methodThe calculation complexity is high, the timeliness is poor, and it is easy to fall into the local optimal value. When the illumination conditions change, there are occlusions, and the target moves locally, the detection effect is poor, and the application is limited
      Interframe difference methodThe ability of complete extraction of target information is poor, and the phenomenon of missing detection and "void" is easy to occur. The calculation accuracy is poor, and the detection effect is poor under the moving background or when the background changes dramatically
      Background subtractionMixed Gaussian modelPrior information is required to build the background model, which has low operational efficiency and limited application when the background changes dramatically
      ViBe methodThe background model construction method is relatively simple with large error, resulting in poor calculation accuracy. Also, due to the background model, its application is limited in the scene with drastic changes in the background environment
