Multi-Focus Image Fusion Based on Pyramid Decomposition

Abstract:

Image fusion algorithm is very important in image fusion process. Image fusion algorithm based on pyramid decomposition was reviewed in this paper. Pyramid decomposition algorithm mainly includes Contrast pyramid, Gradient Pyramid, Laplacian Pyramid and Ratio Pyramid. The fusion algorithms based on pyramid decomposition were respectively applied in multi-focus images, advantage and disadvantage were summarized and application was given. Fusion results were given by MATLAB simulation. Objective evaluation index including of mean, standard deviation, entropy and average gradient was calculated in this paper. Image fusion algorithm should be selected according to the information extracted and the aim of fusion.
