A general framework for image fusion based on multi-scale transform and sparse representation

In image fusion literature, multi-scale transform (MST) and sparse representation (SR) are two most widely used signal/image representation theories. This paper presents a general image fusion framework by combining MST and SR to simultaneously overcome the inherent defects of both the MST- and SR-based fusion methods. In our fusion framework, the MST is firstly performed on each of the pre-registered source images to obtain their low-pass and high-pass coefficients. Then, the low-pass bands are merged with a SR-based fusion approach while the high-pass bands are fused using the absolute values of coefficients as activity level measurement. The fused image is finally obtained by performing the inverse MST on the merged coefficients. The advantages of the proposed fusion framework over individual MST- or SR-based method are first exhibited in detail from a theoretical point of view, and then experimentally verified with multi-focus, visible-infrared and medical image fusion. In particular, six popular multi-scale transforms, which are Laplacian pyramid (LP), ratio of low-pass pyramid (RP), discrete wavelet transform (DWT), dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DTCWT), curvelet transform (CVT) and nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT), with different decomposition levels ranging from one to four are tested in our experiments. By comparing the fused results subjectively and objectively, we give the best-performed fusion method under the proposed framework for each category of image fusion. The effect of the sliding window’s step length is also investigated. Furthermore, experimental results demonstrate that the proposed fusion framework can obtain state-of-the-art performance, especially for the fusion of multimodal images.

Pixel- and region-based image fusion with complex wavelets

A number of pixel-based image fusion algorithms (using averaging, contrast pyramids, the discrete wavelet transform and the dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) to perform fusion) are reviewed and compared with a novel region-based image fusion method which facilitates increased flexibility with the definition of a variety of fusion rules. A DT-CWT is used to segment the features of the input images, either jointly or separately, to produce a region map. Characteristics of each region are calculated and a region-based approach is used to fuse the images, region-by-region, in the wavelet domain. This method gives results comparable to the pixel-based fusion methods as shown using a number of metrics. Despite an increase in complexity, region-based methods have a number of advantages over pixel-based methods. These include: the ability to use more intelligent semantic fusion rules; and for regions with certain properties to be attenuated or accentuated.

Infrared and visible image fusion using fuzzy logic and population-based optimization

This paper presents a new wavelet-based algorithm for the fusion of spatially registered infrared and visible images. Wavelet-based image fusion is the most common fusion method, which fuses the information from the source images in the wavelet transform domain according to some fusion rules. We specifically propose new fusion rules for fusion of low and high frequency wavelet coefficients of the source images in the second step of the wavelet-based image fusion algorithm. First, the source images are decomposed using dual-tree discrete wavelet transform (DT-DWT). Then, a fuzzy-based approach is used to fuse high frequency wavelet coefficients of the IR and visible images. Particularly, fuzzy logic is used to integrate the outputs of three different fusion rules (weighted averaging, selection using pixel-based decision map (PDM), and selection using region-based decision map (RDM)), based on a dissimilarity measure of the source images. The objective is to utilize the advantages of previous pixel- and region-based methods in a single scheme. The PDM is obtained based on local activity measurement in the DT-DWT domain of the source images. A new segmentation-based algorithm is also proposed to generate the RDM using the PDM. In addition, a new optimization-based approach using population-based optimization is proposed for the low frequency fusion rule instead of simple averaging. After fusing low and high frequency wavelet coefficients of the source images, the final fused image is obtained using the inverse DT-DWT. This new method provides improved subjective and objectives results as compared to previous image fusion methods.
