Combination of Wavelet For Fusion
Combination of Wavelet For Fusion
Abstract:
Image fusion is a data fusion technology which keeps images as main research contents. It refers to the techniques that integrate multi-images of the same scene from multiple image sensor data or integrate multi images of the same scene at different times from one image sensor. The image fusion algorithm based on Wavelet Transform which faster developed was a multiresolution analysis image fusion method in recent decade. Wavelet Transform successfully has in good image time-frequency processing characteristics. It was its applied excellent field. Nevertheless,
characteristic in one-dimension cant be extended to two dimensions or multi-dimension simply. Separable wavelet which was spanning by onedimensional wavelet has limited directivity. It uses fuse images, different kinds of fusion methods are compared at last. The experiments show that the method could extract useful information from source images to fused images so that clear images are obtained. We looked at the selection principles about low and high frequency coefficients according to different frequency domain after Wavelet. In choosing the low-frequency coefficients, the concept of local area variance was chosen to measuring criteria. In choosing the high frequency coefficients, the window property and local characteristics of pixels were analyzed. Finally, the proposed algorithm in this article was applied to experiments of multi-focus image fusion and complementary image fusion.
Proposed Method:
DWT Based Image Fusion:
Firstly, the image is decomposed into high-frequency images and low frequency images with wavelet transform. Inverse Transformation is taken to get original image.
Procedure:
Using Wavelet Transform to decompose original images into proper levels. One low-frequency approximate component and three highfrequency detail components will be acquired in each level. Inverse Transformation is taken to get original image.
