In this paper, an algorithm is developed to attain information from the dark images and an analysis is sought for the impact of brightness adjustment parameter (α) and color hue (λ) on a single dark image. The algorithm appears quite appealing as the quality of the images become clearer. This algorithm is applied on a single dark image for different values of α and λ and out of resultant twenty four images; medium, high and low quality were selected randomly for mean opinion score. A mean score opinion (MOS) is drawn for a set of processed and unprocessed images and the results gathered shows that the processed image gathers valuable information and appeared clear. Results showed that few parts where no information was being noticed before processing the digital image, now provides information to the subject after processing.
