Multifocus image fusion scheme using focused region detection and multiresolution

To solve the fusion problem of the multifocus images of the same scene, a novel algorithm based on focused region detection and multiresolution is proposed. In order to integrate the advantages of spatial domain-based fusion methods and transformed domain-based fusion methods, we use a technique of focused region detection and a new fusion method of multiscale transform (MST) to guide pixel combination. Firstly, the initial fused image is acquired with a novel multiresolution image fusion method. The pixels of the original images, which are similar to the corresponding initial fused image pixels, are considered to be located in the sharply focused regions. By this method, the initial focused regions can be determined, and the techniques of morphological opening and closing are employed for post-processing. Then the pixels within the focused regions in each source image are selected as the pixels of the fused image; meanwhile, the initial fused image pixels which are located at the focused border regions are retained as the pixels of the final fused image. The fused image is then obtained. The experimental results show that the proposed fusion approach is effective and performs better in fusing multi-focus images than some current methods.     

An improved fusion algorithm for infrared and visible images based on multi-scale transform

In this paper, an improved fusion algorithm for infrared and visible images based on multi-scale transform is proposed. First of all, Morphology-Hat transform is used for an infrared image and a visible image separately. Then two images were decomposed into high-frequency and low-frequency images by contourlet transform (CT). The fusion strategy of high-frequency images is based on mean gradient and the fusion strategy of low-frequency images is based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Finally, the final fused image is obtained by using the inverse contourlet transform (ICT). The experiments and results demonstrate that the proposed method can significantly improve image fusion performance, accomplish notable target information and high contrast and preserve rich details information at the same time.

Fusion method of infrared and visible images based on neighborhood characteristic and regionalization in NSCT domain

On fusing infrared and visible image, the traditional fusion method cannot get the better image quality. Based on neighborhood characteristic and regionalization in NSCT (Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform) domain, the fusion algorithm was proposed. Firstly, NSCT was adopted to decompose infrared and visible images at different scales and directions for the low and high frequency coefficients, the low frequency coefficients which were fused with improving regional weighted fusion method based on neighborhood energy, and the high-frequency coefficients were fused with multi-judgment rule based on neighborhood characteristic regional process. Finally, the coefficients were reconstructed to obtain the fused image. The experimental results show that, compared with the other three related methods, the proposed method can get the biggest value of IE (information entropy), MI(VI,F) (mutual information from visible image), MI(VI,F) (mutual information from infrared image), MI (sum of mutual information), and Q^AB/F (edge retention). The proposed method can leave enough information in the original images and its details, and the fused images have better visual effects.

Synthetic Aperture Radar image nonlinear enhancement algorithm based on NSCT transform

Due to the imaging mechanism, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images are susceptible to speckle noise, which affects radar image interpretation. So image denoising and enhancement are important topics of improving SAR image performance. A nonlinear image enhancement algorithm based on nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) is proposed in this paper. The image is decomposed into coefficients of different scales and directions through nonsubsampled contourlet transform. It is denoised by the threshold method of the multi-scale product of NSCT coefficients. Then thresholds of the nonlinear enhancement function are determined according to the coefficients of each scale. The two parameters of the function, among which one is used to control the range of enhancement and the other can determine the strength of enhancement, are obtained by solving nonlinear equations. The coefficients processed by the enhancement function are used to reconstruct the image. The simulation results on the Matlab platform show that the algorithm has a good effect of enhancing details of images and suppressing noise signals meanwhile.
