Research towards practical applications of ghost imaging attracts more and more attention in recent years. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of bucket results thus quality of images can be greatly affected by environmental noise, such as strong background light. We introduce temporal cross-correlation into typical ghost imaging to improve SNR of bucket value, taking temporal profile of illumination pulses as a prior information. Experimental results at sunny noontime verified our method, with the imaging quality greatly improved for the object at a distance of 1.3km. We also show the possibility of 3-dimensional imaging, experimentally.
