The invention discloses a thick-cloud automatic removing method of multi-temporal
remote sensing images. The method comprises the following steps: step1, collecting
remote sensing satellite thick cloud images and T multi-temporal images which are in a same area with the
remote sensing satellite thick cloud images; step2, detecting a thick cloud area and acquiring a thick cloud area indication template (

reference image: automatically selecting one multi-temporal image as a
reference image (

restoration method to remove the thick cloud and acquiring a preliminary cloud removing result (img file=' 277102dest_path_image 004.TIF' wi=' 62' he=' 25' / ); step5, bringing the preliminary cloud removing result (img file=' 295873dest_path_image 004.TIF' wi=' 62' he=' 25' / ) and a
reference image (img file=' 708400dest_path_image 003.TIF' wi=' 121' he=' 44' / ) into a variation model, removing the thick cloud again and acquiring a final cloud removing result (img file=' 313563dest_path_image 006.TIF' wi=' 137' he=' 49' / ). In the invention, a reference image is determined through a root-mean-
square error ((img file=' dest_path_image 007.TIF' wi=' 49' he=' 20' / )) of a thick cloud image and a plurality of multi-temporal images between gradient values. Man-
machine interaction is not needed. The thick cloud and shadows are automatically removed. A
pixel brightness of an original image and gradient information of the reference image are combined and a good fidelity to a pixel value is achieved.
