Infrared Image and Visible Image Fusion Based on Wavelet Transform

Abstract:

The same scene, the infrared image and visible image fusion can concurrently take advantage of the original image information can overcome the limitations and differences of a single sensor image in terms of geometric, spectral and spatial resolution, to improve the quality of the image , which help to locate, identify and explain the physical phenomena and events. Put forward a kind of image fusion method based on wavelet transform. And for the wavelet decomposition of the frequency domain, respectively, discussed the principles of select high-frequency coefficients and low frequency coefficients, highlight the contours of parts and the weakening of the details section, fusion, image fusion has the characteristics of two or multiple images, more people or the visual characteristics of the machine, the image for further analysis and understanding, detection and identification or tracking of the target image.
