Abstract: This paper proposed a fast algorithm for estimating outdoor illumination parameters without user interaction for outdoor scene images taken from the same sun position under different weather conditions.K-means algorithm is used to detect the shadow area to obtain the initial sky light parameters,and Grey-World algorithm is used to obtain the initial sun light parameters.Then the base image is solved,and the white balance correction is used to correct the base image,so as to iteratively optimize the illumination parameters more accurately.Experimental results show that the reconstructed image obtained by the proposed algorithm has less error than the reconstructed image obtained by the exi-sting algorithm.Compared with the existing algorithms,the proposed algorithm is faster,more convenient and more accurate.So it can be well applied to augmented reality.

Key words: Grey-world, Illumination estimation, White balance correction
