Subjective Assessment of Multispectral Fusion Images

Article Preview

Abstract:

Image fusion is an intensively used method in applications which require reduction the quantity of information and increase the quality of generated images. This paper present aspects related to subjective quality assessment for images generated by fusion systems used for observation and surveillance. Subjective assessment is based on the expertise of human operators.
