Abstract: | In the night vision applications, visual and infrared images are often fused for an improved awareness of situation or environment.
The fusion algorithms can generate a composite image that retains most important information from source images for human
perception. The state of the art includes manipulating in the color spaces and implementing pixel-level fusion with multiresolution
algorithms. In this paper, a modified scheme based on multiresolution fusion is proposed to process monochrome visual and
infrared images. The visual image is first enhanced based on corresponding infrared image. The final result is obtained by
fusing the enhanced image with the visual image. The process highlights the features from visual image, which is most suitable
for human perception. |
