Abstract :
One of the important problems of optical astronomy is the improvement of quality of images of celestial objects when observed by large ground-based telescopes. The turbulent Earth atmosphere is known to limit the resolution of the observed. On average, the resolution of recorded images is one angular second, while the diffractional - limited resolution of the telescope is better by about an order of magnitude. In present time, three main methods to deal with turbulence problem are known: the Liberia method, the Knox- Thompson method and a generalization of closure phase´s method, the method of triple correlation.
