A Comparative Study of Wavelet-based Image Fusion with a Novel Fusion Rule Ⅱ
Image fusion is the process of combining information of interest in two or more images of a scene into a single highly informative image.Generally,the multi-resolution image fusion based on the wavelet transform performs better on diverse images than traditional methods.Therefore,a comparative study of wavelet-based image fusion with different wavelet families and fusion methods are far-reaching to guide people in their applications.In our previous paper,a platform of wavelet-based image fusion has been built,which includes different wavelet families,image fusion rules,and statistical evaluation criteria.Therefore,it can be used to assess,and more importantly,select appropriate method for a specific fusion task.In this paper,the platform is further extended with more advanced algorithms and objective evaluation criteria.Discussions with these algorithms with multi-focus and multi-spectral images demonstrate that our proposed fusion approach still outperforms traditional methods in most of multi-focus images and multi-spectral images,which also complies with statistical analysis by objective evaluation criteria.
