Introduction
Light interaction with particles and molecules of different sizes present in the atmosphere leads to the following process:
• Absorption• Emission• Scattering
There are two fundamentals process associated with scattering:
IntroductionScattering
• Attenuation: flux is removed from a light beam.
• Airlight: the atmosphere acts as a light source.

The mixing of attenuation and airlight produces loss in saturation and a possible hue change, depending on the atmospheric particles sizes.

There are several works in the field of atmospheric image restoration, some of them based on statistical information of the scene (Pitas and Kiniklis1) and others on physical model (Tan and Oakley2).
IntroductionModels
The physics based models usually need information about meteorological conditions (Yitzhaky et al.3), distances from the objects (Narasimhan and Nayar4) or some images taken under different weather conditions (Narasimhan and Nayar6).
The better physics based models are those constructed over the dichromatic model (Narasimhan and Nayar7).

Physical Model
We use the dichromatic model in with the radiance of the object at the observation plane has two terms:
• direct light coming from the object but attenuated by the atmosphere and
• airlight
Where: L is the object radiance viewed from the observer plane L0 is the object radiance β is the attenuation coefficient in the atmosphere L∞ is the radiance of the horizon d is the distance between the object and the detector

Where: Ω is the solid angle subtended from the object into the detector Ed is the irradiance over the object
ρ is the spectral reflectance of the object β is the attenuation coefficient d is the distance between the object and the detector
L∞ is the horizon radiance
And if we suppose that the horizon radiance is the same at any point on the sky and the object is lambertian, for overcast skies we use the following expression:

Method
At first, we have calculated the CIE 1931 (x,y,Y) and the CIELAB (L*,a*,b*) values corresponding to 23 objects of the Macbeth Color-Checker, whose spectral reflectances are known, for three clear days and for three overcast days.
The scattering and the absorption coefficients must be known in order to apply the last equations. We know the scattering coefficient at 450, 550 and 700 nm (thanks to ours partners from Centro Andaluz del MedioAmbiente) and we can extrapolate to the rest of visible spectrum assuming that:

We suppose that the absorption coefficient keep constant in the visible range.

Method
In the following table we show the scattering coefficient at 550 nm, the absorption coefficient at 670 nm and the u value for several days.

Direct light coming from the object
decrease increasing distance between the object and the
observer.
For a specific distance, the airlight
factor is more noticeable than the attenuation factor.

We included the chromaticity threshold
discrimination circle for the horizon, considering
3 CIELAB units.The visibility calculated
with colorimetric criterion gives a lower
value than one calculated with the
classical form..

In this work we pretend to study the influence of the atmosphere in the objects color with the distance. Making a computational work based on a physical model we see how the objects loose their chromaticity.
For future work we pretend make more measures, including more meteorological conditions and improve the theoretical model.
