Image Fusion Using Wavelet Transform and Fuzzy Reasoning

Article Preview

Abstract:

The image fusion algorithm discussed in this paper which utilizes wavelet decomposition and fuzzy reasoning combines images from diverse imaging sensors into a single composite image. It first decomposed source images through wavelet transform, computed the extent of each source image’s contribution through fuzzy reasoning using the area feature of source images, and then fused the coefficients through weighted averaging with the extents of each source images’ contributions as the weight coefficients. Experimental results indicate the final composite image may have more complete information content or better perceptual quality than any one of the source images.
