基于超像素级卷积神经网络的多聚焦图像融合算法

该文提出了基于超像素级卷积神经网络(sp-CNN)的多聚焦图像融合算法。该方法首先对源图像进行多尺度超像素分割，将获取的超像素输入sp-CNN，并对输出的初始分类映射图进行连通域操作得到初始决策图；然后根据多幅初始决策图的异同获得不确定区域，并利用空间频率对其再分类，得到阶段决策图；最后利用形态学对阶段决策图进行后处理，并根据所得的最终决策图融合图像。该文算法直接利用超像素分割块进行图像融合，其相较以往利用重叠块的融合算法可达到降低时间复杂度的目的，同时可获得较好的融合效果。

Multi-focus Image Fusion Algorithm Based on Super Pixel Level Convolutional Neural Network

This paper proposes a multi-focus image fusion algorithm based on super pixel-level Convolutional Neural Network (sp-CNN). In this method, multi-scale super pixel segmentation is firstly applied to the source image to obtain the super pixels. Secondly, the sp-CNN is proposed to acquire the initial decision maps. Thirdly, according to the similarities and differences of the multiple initial decision maps, the uncertain region is reclassified by spatial frequency to obtain the phase decision map. At last, the final decision map is achieved to fuse the source images by post-processing the phase decision graph with morphology. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves the goal of reducing time complexity and attains better fusion effect compared with the state-of-the-art fusion methods which utilize overlapping blocks.
