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.     

Image fusion based on nonsubsampled contourlet transform for infrared and visible light image

In this paper, a new method based on nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) is proposed to fuse the infrared image and the visible light image, which will produce a new fused image by which the target can be identified more easily. Firstly, two original images were decomposed into low frequency subband coefficients and the bandpass direction subband coefficients by using NSCT. Secondly, the selection of the low frequency subband coefficient and the bandpass direction subband coefficient is discussed in detail. The low frequency subband coefficients are selected based on the regional visual characteristics. For the selection of bandpass direction subband coefficients, this paper proposes a minimum regional cross-gradient method, and the cross-gradient is gained by calculating the gradient between the pixel of bandpass subbands and the adjacent pixel in the fused image of the low-frequency components. Comparison experiments have been performed on different image sets, and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method performs better in both subjective and objective qualities.     

Remote-sensing image encryption in hybrid domains

Remote-sensing technology plays an important role in military and industrial fields. Remote-sensing image is the main means of acquiring information from satellites, which always contain some confidential information. To securely transmit and store remote-sensing images, we propose a new image encryption algorithm in hybrid domains. This algorithm makes full use of the advantages of image encryption in both spatial domain and transform domain. First, the low-pass subband coefficients of image DWT (discrete wavelet transform) decomposition are sorted by a PWLCM system in transform domain. Second, the image after IDWT (inverse discrete wavelet transform) reconstruction is diffused with 2D (two-dimensional) Logistic map and XOR operation in spatial domain. The experiment results and algorithm analyses show that the new algorithm possesses a large key space and can resist brute-force, statistical and differential attacks. Meanwhile, the proposed algorithm has the desirable encryption efficiency to satisfy requirements in practice.

Multifocus image fusion based on features contrast of multiscale products in nonsubsampled contourlet transform domain

In this paper, an efficient multifocus image fusion approach is proposed based on local features contrast of multiscale products in nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) domain. In order to improve the robustness of the fusion algorithm to the noise and select the coefficients of the fused image properly, the multiscale products, which can distinguish edge structures from noise more effectively in NSCT domain, is developed and introduced into image fusion field. The selection principles of different subband coefficients obtained by the NSCT decomposition are discussed in detail. To improve the quality of the fused image, novel different local features contrast measurements, which are proved to be more suitable for human vision system and can extract more useful detail information from source images and inject them into the fused image, are developed and used to select coefficients from the clear parts of subimages to compose coefficients of fused images. Experimental results demonstrate the proposed method performs very well in fusion both noisy and noise-free multifocus images, and outperform conventional methods in terms of both visual quality and objective evaluation criteria.
