Implementation of the Centroid Method for the Correction of Turbulence

The centroid method for the correction of turbulence consists in computing the Karcher-Fr echet mean of the sequence of input images. The direction of deformation between a pair of images is determined by the optical ow. A distinguishing feature of the centroid method is that it can produce useful results from an arbitrarily small set of input images.
