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.

Image Fusion is integrating two or more sensors at the same time or at different times of image or videos equenece to generate a new interpretation of this scene. Its main purpose is increasing reliability or image resolution by redueing uncertainty through redundancy of different images.In this paper, a image fusion method based on contourlet transform is presented. The algorithm can fuse corresponding information in different resolutions and directions, which makes the fused image clearer and more abundant in details. Meanwhile, because of the fuzzy logic’s capacity of resolving uncertain problems, it overcomes the drawbacks of traditional fusion algorithm based on contourlet transform, and integrates as much information as possible into the fused image.
