Research on Image Fusion Based on Pyramid Decomposition

Abstract:

Different objects could be analyzed by use of pyramid decomposition of image. Image fusion algorithm based on pyramid decomposition of image is multi-scale, multi-resolution method. Its process is completed on different scale, different resolution and different decomposition layer. Compared with spatial fusion method, fusion effects improve obviously. In this paper, principal of pyramid decomposition and process were introduced, and simulation results of image fusion based on Laplacian pyramid, gradient pyramid, ration pyramid and contrast shows that image fusion based on pyramid decomposition is improve obviously.
