A simple and efficient algorithm for multifocus image fusion using morphological wavelets
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a simple yet efficient algorithm for multifocus image fusion, using a multiresolution signal decomposition scheme. The decomposition scheme is based on a nonlinear wavelet constructed with morphological operations. The analysis operators are constructed by morphological dilation combined with quadratic downsampling and the synthesis operators are constructed by morphological erosion combined with quadratic upsampling. A performance measure based on image gradients is used to evaluate the results. The proposed scheme has some interesting computational advantages as well. r 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Multifocus image fusion by combining curvelet and wavelet transform
When an image is captured by CCD device, only the objects at focus plane would appear sharp. A practicable way to get an image with all objects in focus is to fuse images acquired with different focus levels of the scene. In this paper, we propose a multifocus image fusion algorithm based on combination of wavelet and curvelet transform. Although the fused results obtained by wavelet or curvele...
متن کاملA Spatial Domain and Frequency Domain Integrated Approach to Fusion Multifocus Images
A spatial domain and frequency domain integrated approach was proposed to fusion multifocus images. The proposed multifocus image fusion algorithm was composed of computing Sum-modified-Laplacian(SML) for each focus image, stationary wavelet transform(SWT) decomposition, image fusion and inverse SWT. Firstly, two initial binary decision maps were created by setting two thresholds to the SML dif...
متن کاملMultifocus and multispectral image fusion based on pixel significance using discrete cosine harmonic wavelet transform
The energy compaction and multiresolution properties of wavelets have made the image fusion successful in combining important features such as edges and textures from source images without introducing any artifacts for context enhancement and situational awareness. The wavelet transform is visualized as a convolution of wavelet filter coefficients with the image under consideration and is compu...
متن کاملMultifocus Image Fusion Based on Empirical Mode Decomposition
When scene contains objects that are on different depth of focus, display all areas of the picture very well isn't possible. Combining information from multiple images of the same scene into image with better description of the scene than any of the individual source images, the technique of multifocus image fusion has been attracting more attention in the field of digital image processing in l...
متن کاملMulti-focus Image Fusion by SML in the Shearlet Subbands
It is now widely acknowledged that traditional wavelets are not very effective in dealing with multidimensional signals containing distributed discontinuities. Shearlet Transform is a new discrete multiscale directional representation, which combines the power of multiscale methods with a unique ability to capture the geometry of multidimensional data and is optimally efficient in representing ...
