A New Adaptive Image Fusion Technique of CT and MRI Images Based on Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, a new adaptive images fusion algorithm is presented for CT and MRI based on DT-CWT. For fusion, all the source images are decomposed into low and high frequency sub-bands, and then the fusion of low frequency is done by means of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) while for high frequency regional energy algorithm is used. Experiment are carried out on a number of CT and MRT images, results show that the DT-CWT method is better than that of DWT method in terms of quality measures PSNR, NCC and image visual quality.
