A Novel Fusion Algorithm of Visible Image and Infrared Image Based on NSCT

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper focuses on the fusion method of visible image and infrared image, making in-depth discussion on the existing algorithms and proposes a novel method on the fusion rules. The image is firstly decomposed into low-frequency and high-frequency coefficients by NSCT and the characteristics of visible image and infrared image are then taken into account to finish the fusion. Finally, the quality of the fused image by different algorithms is compared with several existing criterions. MATLAB is employed to finish the simulation and the results will demonstrate this algorithm can improve the quality of the fused image effectively and the features in the image won’t be missing
