Medical Image Fusion

In this paper, the authors propose an algorithm of hybrid particle swarm with differential evolution (DE) operator, termed DEPSO, with the help of a multi-resolution transform named dual tree complex wavelet transform (DTCWT) to solve the problem of multimodal medical image fusion. This hybridizing approach aims to combine algorithms in a judicious manner, where the resulting algorithm will contain the positive features of these different algorithms. This new algorithm decomposes the source images into high-frequency and low-frequency coefficients by the DTCWT, then adopts the absolute maximum method to fuse high-frequency coefficients; the low-frequency coefficients are fused by a weighted average method while the weights are estimated and enhanced by an optimization method to gain optimal results. The authors demonstrate by the experiments that this algorithm, besides its simplicity, provides a robust and efficient way to fuse multimodal medical images compared to existing wavelet transform-based image fusion algorithms.

Image fusion based on different wavelet transform is the most commonly used image fusion method, which fuses the source pictures data in wavelet space as per some fusion rules. But, because of the uncertainties of the source images contributions to the fused image, to design a good fusion rule to incorporate however much data as could reasonably be expected into the fused picture turns into the most vital issue. On the other hand, adaptive fuzzy logic is the ideal approach to determine uncertain issues, yet it has not been utilized as a part of the outline of fusion rule. A new fusion technique based on wavelet transform and adaptive fuzzy logic is introduced in this chapter. After doing wavelet transform to source images, it computes the weight of each source images coefficients through adaptive fuzzy logic and then fuses the coefficients through weighted averaging with the processed weights to acquire a combined picture: Mutual Information, Peak Signal to Noise Ratio, and Mean Square Error as criterion.

Purpose This study aims to obtain the more precise decision map to fuse the source images by Coefficient significance method. In the area of multifocus image fusion, the better decision map is very important the fusion results. In the processing of distinguishing the well-focus part with blur part in an image, the edge between the parts is more difficult to be processed. Coefficient significance is very effective in generating the better decision map to fuse the multifocus images. Design/methodology/approach The energy of Laplacian is used in the approximation coefficients of redundant discrete wavelet transform. On the other side, the coefficient significance based on statistic property of covariance is proposed to merge the detail coefficient. Findings Due to the shift-variance of the redundant discrete wavelet and the effectiveness of fusion rule, the presented fusion method is superior to the region energy in harmonic cosine wavelet domain, pixel significance with the cross bilateral filter and multiscale geometry analysis method of Ripplet transform. Originality/value In redundant discrete wavelet domain, the coefficient significance based on statistic property of covariance is proposed to merge the detail coefficient of source images.

Fusion Approach

The goal of image fusion is to combine a high-quality image from multi-image about the same object. The paper presents an image fusion scheme based on wavelet transform and rough set. Firstly, the two images are decomposed by orthogonal wavelet; the image’s wavelet coefficients are got. Comparing with the two image’s wavelet coefficients, wavelet coefficients’ matrix is composed of maximum absolute value, the fused image is obtained by the inverse wavelet transform. The last section of the paper verifies the method by experiment and gets the good experimental results.

Medical image fusion is being used at large by clinical professionals for improved diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The main aim of image fusion process is to combine complete information from all input images into a single fused image. Therefore, a novel fusion rule is proposed for fusing medical images based on Daubechies complex wavelet transform (DCxWT). Input images are first decomposed using DCxWT. The complex coefficients so obtained are then fused using normalized correlation based fusion rule. Finally, the fused image is obtained by inverse DCxWT with all combined complex coefficients. The performance of the proposed method has been evaluated and compared both visually and objectively with DCxWT based fusion methods using state-of art fusion rules as well as with existing fusion techniques. Experimental results and comparative study demonstrate that the proposed fusion technique generates better results than existing fusion rules as well as with other fusion techniques.

Image fusion is to combine several different source images to form a new image by using a certain method. Recent studies show that among a variety of image fusion algorithms, the wavelet-based method is more effective. In the wavelet-based method, the key technique is the fusion scheme, which can decide the final fused result. This paper presents a novel fusion scheme that integrates the wavelet decomposed coefficients in a quite separate way when fusing images. The method is formed by considering the different physical meanings of the coefficients in both the low frequency and high frequency bands. The fused results were compared with several existing fusion methods and evaluated by three measures of performance. The experimental results can demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve better performance than conventional image fusion methods.
