Multi Modal Medical Image Fusion Using Weighted Least Squares Filter
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel multi modal medical image fusion method based on weighted least squares filter is proposed. To perform the image fusion, a two-scale decomposition of the input images is performed. Then weighted least squares filter is used to calculate the weight maps for the base and detail layers and then a weighted average of the base and detail layer is performed to obtain the fused image. The performance of the proposed method was compared with several other image fusion methods using five quality metrics based on information present (QMI), structural information retained (QY and QC), features retained (QG and QP) and it was found that the proposed method produces a robust performance for fusion of multi-modal images.

متن کاملEfficient Multi-Modal Least-Squares Alignment of Medical Images Using Quasi-Orientation Maps
In image registration, similarity metrics are used to determine the optimal alignment between two images. A common metric used for judging image similarity is the weighted sum of squared differences (SSD) cost function. Recently, it was demonstrated that the evaluation of the SSD cost function can be performed efficiently using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to determine the optimal translati...

متن کاملFusion of visual and infra-red face scores by weighted power series
This paper proposes a weighted power series model for face verification scores fusion. Essentially, a linear parametric power series model is adopted to directly minimize an approximated total error rate for fusion of multi-modal face verification scores. Unlike the conventional least-squares error minimization approach which involves fitting of a learning model to data density and then perform...

In this paper the Cross Bilateral Filter is used to fuse source images with the help of Mahalanobis distance measure. The proposed image fusion algorithm directly fuses two source images of a same scene using weighted average. The proposed method differs from other weighted average methods in terms of weight computation and the domain of weighted average. Here, the weights are computed by measu...
