Abstract:

Aiming at the problems of classical algorithm can’t obtain the accurate atmospheric brightness A and the restored image is easy to appear the color distortion
in the sky region, this paper proposes an improved algorithm which sets three sky thresholds to obtain the pixels in the sky region, then averages the brightness of these pixels
to eliminate the effect of a white object; Adaptive the threshold which is used to segment the sky region and non-sky region using k-means clustering algorithm. This improved
algorithm can obtain more accurate atmospheric brightness A, and it can segment the sky region more accurately, so it can rectify the transmittance of the sky region easily,
these improvements can make a better visual effect of restored image. Simulation results show that the improved algorithm can achieve the anticipated effect.

Key words:  dark channel prior, atmospheric brightness A, k-means clustering, adaptive threshold T
