ABSTRACT

Image fusion refers to the techniques that integrate complementary information from multiple image sensor data such that the new images are more suitable for the purpose of human visual perception and the compute processing tasks. In this paper, a new image fusion algorithm based on wavelet packet transform to fuse multiple sensor images is proposed. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) can offer a more precise way for image analysis than other multi-resolution analysis. It decomposes an image into low frequency hand and high frequency hand in different level, and it can also be reconstructed gradually in different level. When images are merged in wavelet packet space, different frequency ranges are processed differently. It can merge information from original images adequately and improve abilities of information analysis and feature extraction. This image fusion is performed at the pixel level. In this fusion algorithm, a feature-based fusion rule is used to continue original sub images and to form a pyramid for the fused image. In this project, mutual information is employed as a means of objective assessing image fusion performance.

CONCLUSION

In this project, the use of Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Fuzzy, Neuro Fuzzy, the fusion of images taken by digital camera was studied. The pixel-level-based fusion mechanism applied to sets of images. All the results obtained by these methods are valid in case of using aligned source images from the same scene. In order to evaluate the results and compare these methods two quantitative assessment criteria Information Entropy and Root Mean Square Error were employed. Experimental results indicated that there are no considerable differences between these two methods in performance. In fact if the result of fusion in each level of decomposition is separately evaluated visually and quantitatively in terms of entropy, no considerable difference will be observed (Fig. 5, 6,7, 9 and 11 and Tables 2 and 4). Although some differences identified in lower levels, DWT and LPT demonstrated similar results from level three of decomposing. Both techniques reach the best result in terms of information entropy with a decomposing level of three. Experimental results demonstrated in Tables 2 and 4 also indicate that LPT algorithm reaches its best quality in terms of entropy in lower levels than DWT. The RMSE values represented in Table 6 show that neither LPT nor DWT has better performance in all levels, although the best result belongs to the LPT method. However the RMSE results compared to quality and entropy of fused images indicate that RMSE can not be used as a proper criterion to evaluate and compare the fusion results. Finally the experiments showed that the LPT approach is implemented faster than DWT. Actually LPT takes less than half the time in comparison with DWT and with regard to approximately similar performance, LPT is preferred in real-time applications. Fuzzy and Neuro-Fuzzy algorithms have been implemented to fuse a variety of images. The results of fusion process proposed are given in terms of Entropy and Variance. The fusions have been implemented for medical images and remote sensing images. It is hoped that the techniques can be extended for colored images and for fusion of multiple sensor images.
DWT Fusion:
The DWT fusion methods provide computationally efficient image fusion techniques. Various fusion rules for the selection and combination of subband coefficients increase the quality (perceptual and quantitatively measurable) of image fusion in specific applications.

DT-CWT Fusion:
The developed DT-CWT fusion techniques provide better quantitative and qualitative results than the DWT at the expense of increased computation. The DT-CWT method is able to retain edge information without significant ringing artifacts. It is also good at faithfully retaining textures from the input images. All of these features can be attributed to the increased shift invariance and orientation selectivity of the DT-CWT when compared to the DWT. A previously developed shift invariant wavelet transform (the SIDWT) has been used for image fusion [7]. However, the SIDWT suffers from excessive redundancy. The SIDWT also lacks the directional selectivity of the DT-CWT. This is reflected in the superior quantitative results of the DT-CWT (see table1) Various fusion rules for the selection and combination of sub band coefficients quantitatively measurable) of image fusion in specific applications. The DT-CWT has the further advantage that the phase information is available for analysis. However, after an initial set of experiments using the notion of phase coherence, no improvement in fusion performance has been achieved.
