Clouds produce obstacles which hinder satellites from collecting clear ground information. Removing clouds from satellite images becomes a promising way to recover valuable information efficiently. It reduces the demands for weather and improves the image collecting flexibility. In this paper, a cloud removal algorithm from single images is studied. Firstly, the fundamental principle of the dual tree complex wavelet transformation (DTCWT) is introduced briefly. The scheme of dividing the clouds from the scenery and the background roughly according to their frequencies after the image is decomposed by DTCWT is discussed. Secondly, a new method to estimate the atmosphere transmission coefficient is designed after analyzing the atmosphere radiation model and the dark channel priori theory. Then, a cloud removal algorithm from single images is proposed by combining DTCWT and the improved atmosphere transmission. Its implement procedures are described completed. Image processing experiments are carried out and evaluated. The results prove the proposed algorithm is satisfactory and superior to algorithms based on the weighted wavelet coefficients and the dark channel prior.

Aiming at the color distortion of the restored image in the sky region, we propose an image dehazing algorithm based on double priors constraint. Firstly, we divided the haze image into sky and non-sky regions. Then the Color-lines prior and dark channel prior are used for estimating the transmission of sky and non-sky regions respectively. After introducing color-lines prior to correct sky regions restored by the dark channel prior, we get an accurate transmission. Finally, the local media mean value and standard deviation are used to refine the transmission to obtain the dehazing image. Experimental results show that the algorithm has obvious advantages in the recovery of the sky area.

This paper proposed a new method of underwater images restoration and enhancement which was inspired by the dark channel prior in image dehazing field. Firstly, we proposed the bright channel prior of underwater environment. By estimating and rectifying the bright channel image, estimating the atmospheric light, and estimating and refining the transmittance image, eventually underwater images were restored. Secondly, in order to rectify the color distortion, the restoration images were equalized by using the deduced histogram equalization. The experiment results showed that the proposed method could enhance the quality of underwater images effectively.
