为了综合利用多光谱遥感图像与全色遥感图像之间的互补信息,提出了一种方向金字塔框架变换(SPFT),并基于此变换提出了一种遥感图像融合算法。具体融合过程是将多光谱图像的每个波段分别与高分辨力全色图像进行融合,首先将高分辨力全色图像与多光谱图像的待融合波段进行直方图匹配,然后对该波段图像以及直方图匹配后的高分辨力全色图像分别进行方向金字塔框架变换分解,融合过程就是对两图像方向金字塔框架变换分解后的系数进行组合,最后对组合后的系数进行方向金字塔框架逆变换即可得到该波段图像与高分辨力全色图像的融合图像。实验结果表明该算法在性能上优于基于亮度-色调-饱和度(1HS)的彩色空间变换以及基于离散小波框架变换(DWFT)的遥感图像融合方法,尤其对源图像之间存在配准误差的情况。     

Multiscale top-hat selection transform based infrared and visual image fusion with emphasis on extracting regions of interest

To effectively combine regions of interest in original infrared and visual images, an adaptively weighted infrared and visual image fusion algorithm is developed based on the multiscale top-hat selection transform. First, the multiscale top-hat selection transform using multiscale structuring elements with increasing sizes is discussed. Second, the image regions of the original infrared and visual images at each scale are extracted by using the multiscale top-hat selection transform. Third, the final fusion regions are constructed from the extracted multiscale image regions. Finally, the final fusion regions are combined into a base image calculated from the original images to form the final fusion result. The combination of the final fusion regions uses the adaptive weight strategy, and the weights are adaptively obtained based on the importance of the extracted features. In the paper, we compare seven image fusion methods: wavelet pyramid algorithm (WP), shift invariant discrete wavelet transform algorithm (SIDWT), Laplacian pyramid algorithm (LP), morphological pyramid algorithm (MP), multiscale morphology based algorithm (MSM), center-surround top-hat transform based algorithm (CSTHT), and the proposed multiscale top-hat selection transform based algorithm. These seven methods are compared over five different publicly available image sets using three metrics of spatial frequency, mean gradient, and Q. The results show that the proposed algorithm is effective and may be useful for the applications related to the infrared and visual image fusion.

Multimodality Image Fusion Based on Quantum Wavelet Transform and Sum-Modified-Laplacian Rule

The parallelism and entanglement characteristics of quantum computation greatly improve the efficiency of image processing tasks. With the sharp increase of data size and requirement of real-time processing in image fusion application, rapid implementation using quantum computation will become the inexorable trend. A novel multimodality image fusion algorithm based on quantum wavelet transform (QWT) and proposed quantum version of sum-modified-laplacian (SML) rule is designed in this paper. The source digital images are firstly represented by flexible representation of quantum image (FRQI) model, and then the quantum form images are transformed with QWT to capture salient features of source images. The quantum version of SML rule is proposed to fuse wavelet coefficients, which has higher efficiency and runs faster than its classical counterpart. The final fused image is obtained by using inverse quantum wavelet transform. The simulations and theoretical analysis verify that the proposed algorithm is effective in the fusion of multimodality images.

Multifocus image fusion scheme based on features of multiscale products and PCNN in lifting stationary wavelet domain

Multifocus image fusion aims at overcoming imaging cameras's finite depth of field by combining information from multiple images with the same scene. For the fusion problem of the multifocus image of the same scene, a novel algorithm is proposed based on multiscale products of the lifting stationary wavelet transform (LSWT) and the improved pulse coupled neural network (PCNN), where the linking strength of each neuron can be chosen adaptively. In order to select the coefficients of the fused image properly with the source multifocus images in a noisy environment, the selection principles of the low frequency subband coefficients and bandpass subband coefficients are discussed, respectively. For choosing the low frequency subband coefficients, a new sum modified-Laplacian (NSML) of the low frequency subband, which can effectively represent the salient features and sharp boundaries of the image in the LSWT domain, is an input to motivate the PCNN neurons; when choosing the high frequency subband coefficients, a novel local neighborhood sum of Laplacian of multiscale products is developed and taken as one type of feature of high frequency to motivate the PCNN neurons. The coefficients in the LSWT domain with large firing times are selected as coefficients of the fused image. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed fusion approach outperforms the traditional discrete wavelet transform (DWT)-based, LSWT-based and LSWT-PCNN-based image fusion methods even though the source image is in a noisy environment in terms of both visual quality and objective evaluation.

Performance analysis of multi-spectral and panchromatic image fusion techniques based on two wavelet discrete approaches

During the past few years, many fusion algorithms have been proposed to combine a high-resolution panchromatic image with a low-resolution multi-spectral image to generate a high-resolution multi-spectral image. Among them, the wavelet-based algorithm has gained its popularity due to its ability of multi-resolution decomposition. More specifically, the wavelet transform is first applied to images. The wavelet coefficients are then combined based on a certain rule to produce the fused image. In this paper, we evaluated the performances of both the wavelet transform discrete approaches and the coefficient combination methods when they are applied to fuse multi-spectral and panchromatic images. For the discrete approaches of the wavelet transform, Mallat and “à trous” algorithms are chosen. For the coefficient combination, the additive wavelet method, the additive wavelet intensity method and the additive wavelet principal component method are selected. To evaluate the spectral quality of the fused images, correlation coefficient and Q_avg index are used as a local and global measure, respectively. Meanwhile, average gradient and standard deviation are used to evaluate the spatial quality. Our experiments show that keeping the combination method the same, the “à trous” algorithm works better than the Mallat algorithm for the fusion purpose. In addition, if keeping the wavelet discrete algorithm the same, the combination methods mentioned above are found to have different advantages between the spatial resolution improvement and the spectral quality preservation.     

Infrared and visible image fusion method based on saliency detection in sparse domain

Infrared and visible image fusion is a key problem in the field of multi-sensor image fusion. To better preserve the significant information of the infrared and visible images in the final fused image, the saliency maps of the source images is introduced into the fusion procedure. Firstly, under the framework of the joint sparse representation (JSR) model, the global and local saliency maps of the source images are obtained based on sparse coefficients. Then, a saliency detection model is proposed, which combines the global and local saliency maps to generate an integrated saliency map. Finally, a weighted fusion algorithm based on the integrated saliency map is developed to achieve the fusion progress. The experimental results show that our method is superior to the state-of-the-art methods in terms of several universal quality evaluation indexes, as well as in the visual quality.

Multiple-image encryption by two-step phase-shifting interferometry and spatial multiplexing of smooth compressed signal

A multiple-image encryption method based on two-step phase-shifting interferometry(PSI) and spatial multiplexing of a smooth compressed signal is proposed. In the encoding and encryption process, with the help of four index matrices to store original pixel positions, all the pixels of four secret images are firstly reordered in an ascending order; then, the four reordered images are transformed by five-order Haar wavelet transform and performed sparseness operation. After Arnold transform and pixels sampling operation, one combined image can be grouped with the aid of compressive sensing(CS)and spatial multiplexing techniques. Finally, putting the combined image at the input plane of the PSI encryption scheme,only two interferograms ciphertexts can be obtained. During the decoding and decryption, utilizing all the secret key groups and index matrices keys, all the original secret images can be successfully decrypted by a wave-front retrieval algorithm of two-step PSI, spatial de-multiplexing, inverse Arnold transform, inverse discrete wavelet transform, and pixels reordering operation.
