Abstract. Due to the significantly effect of clouds in the near-earth space environment to remote sensing satellite images, some satellite images can not be utilized normally, resulting in large limitation of their application fields. For the background suppressed haze thickness index (BSHTI) and improvement background suppressed haze thickness index (IBSHTI) have the characteristics of thoroughly cloud correction and badly deficiency of the tone and texture information, we propose to first adopt IBSHTI to calculate the cloud thickness image of different bands, then the dark-pixel images are obtained by down sampling, and the texture is eliminated by introducing Texture and edge information (TEI). Experiment results show that our method can well retain the ground tone and texture information while removing the effect of clouds, especially in urban areas.
