Image Fusion Based on Shearlet and Multi-Decision

Abstract:

Image Fusion is an important and useful subject in Image Processing and Computer Vision. The traditional image fusion algorithm could not provide satisfactory fusion results. Aiming to solving this problem, in this paper, we proposed an algorithm based on shearlet and multi-decision. First we discussed the application of the shearlet transform. Then we use difference decision rules for image decomposition high-frequency coefficients. Finally, the fused image is obtained through inverse Shearlet transform. Experimental results show that comparing with traditional image fusion algorithms, the proposed approach can provide more satisfactory fusion outcome.
