In order to improve the clarity of image fusion and solve the problem that the image fusion effect is affected by the illumination and weather of visible light, a fusion method of infrared and visible images for night-vision context enhancement is proposed. First, a guided filter is used to enhance the details of the visible image. Then, the enhanced visible and infrared images are decomposed by the curvelet transform. The improved sparse representation is used to fuse the low-frequency part, while the high-frequency part is fused with the parametric adaptation pulse-coupled neural networks. Finally, the fusion result is obtained by inverse transformation of the curvelet transform. The experimental results show that the proposed method has good performance in detail processing, edge protection, and source image information.

Background: A multi-scale multidirectional image fusion method is proposed, which introduces the Nonsubsampled Directional Filter Bank (NSDFB) into the multi-scale edge-preserving decomposition based on the fast guided filter. Methods: The proposed method has the advantages of preserving edges and extracting directional information simultaneously. In order to get better-fused sub-bands coefficients, a Convolutional Sparse Representation (CSR) based approximation sub-bands fusion rule is introduced and a Pulse Coupled Neural Network (PCNN) based detail sub-bands fusion strategy with New Sum of Modified Laplacian (NSML) to be the external input is also presented simultaneously. Results: Experimental results have demonstrated the superiority of the proposed method over conventional methods in terms of visual effects and objective evaluations. Conclusion: In this paper, combining fast guided filter and nonsubsampled directional filter bank, a multi-scale directional edge-preserving filter image fusion method is proposed. The proposed method has the features of edge-preserving and extracting directional information.

AbstractImage fusion integrates information from multiple images (of the same scene) to generate a (more informative) composite image suitable for human and computer vision perception. The method based on multiscale decomposition is one of the commonly fusion methods. In this study, a new fusion framework based on the octave Gaussian pyramid principle is proposed. In comparison with conventional multiscale decomposition, the proposed octave Gaussian pyramid framework retrieves more information by decomposing an image into two scale spaces (octave and interval spaces). Different from traditional multiscale decomposition with one set of detail and base layers, the proposed method decomposes an image into multiple sets of detail and base layers, and it efficiently retains high- and low-frequency information from the original image. The qualitative and quantitative comparison with five existing methods (on publicly available image databases) demonstrate that the proposed method has better visual effects and scores the highest in objective evaluation.
