چکیده
Medical image fusion plays an important role in clinical applications such as image-guided surgery, image-guided radiotherapy, noninvasive diagnosis, and treatment planning. In order to retain useful information and get more reliable results, a novel medical image fusion algorithm based on pulse coupled neural networks (PCNN) and multi-feature fuzzy clustering is proposed, which makes use of the multi-feature of image and combines the advantages of the local entropy and variance of local entropy based PCNN. The results of experiments indicate that the proposed image fusion method can better preserve the image details and robustness and significantly improve the image visual effect than the other fusion methods with less information distortion.

متن کاملAn Efficient Multi-Focus Image Fusion Scheme Based On PCNN
Optics of lenses with a high degree of magnification suffers from the problem of a limited depth of field. As the focal length and magnification of the lens increase, the depth of field decreases. As a result, it is often not possible to get an image that contains all relevant objects in focus. To overcome the problem of finite depth of field, image fusion technique is designed which combines t...
