A Novel Quality Metric for Image Fusion Based on Mutual Information and Structural Similarity ?

چکیده
We present a novel objective image quality assessment method for image fusion based on mutual information and structural similarity. A simplified formula was deduced to compute the information amount transformed from the source images to the final fused image. With this formula we managed to resolve the overlapping information problem immediately and predigested the calculation extremely. Moreover we adopted the mutual information and the structural similarity metric to image fusion schemes, and put forward a novel performance evaluation method without the interference of the reference image. Experimental results show that the proposed metric is well correlated with human subjective evaluations and thus can be used to compare the results of different fusion methods.

متن کاملA Novel Subsampling Method for 3D Multimodality Medical Image Registration Based on Mutual Information
Mutual information (MI) is a widely used similarity metric for multimodality image registration. However, it involves an extremely high computational time especially when it is applied to volume images. Moreover, its robustness is affected by existence of local maxima. The multi-resolution pyramid approaches have been proposed to speed up the registration process and increase the accuracy of th...
متن کاملSpiking Cortical Model Based Multimodal Medical Image Fusion by Combining Entropy Information with Weber Local Descriptor
Multimodal medical image fusion (MIF) plays an important role in clinical diagnosis and therapy. Existing MIF methods tend to introduce artifacts, lead to loss of image details or produce low-contrast fused images. To address these problems, a novel spiking cortical model (SCM) based MIF method has been proposed in this paper. The proposed method can generate high-quality fused images using the...
متن کاملEvaluation of Similarity Measures for Template Matching
Image matching is a critical process in various photogrammetry, computer vision and remote sensing applications such as image registration, 3D model reconstruction, change detection, image fusion, pattern recognition, autonomous navigation, and digital elevation model (DEM) generation and orientation. The primary goal of the image matching process is to establish the correspondence between two ...
متن کاملA Novel Metric for Performance Evaluation of Image Fusion Algorithms
this paper, we present a novel objective non-reference performance assessment algorithm for image fusion. It takes into account local measurements to estimate how well the important information in the source images is represented by the fused image. The metric is based on the Universal Image Quality Index and uses the similarity between blocks of pixels in the input images and the fused image a...
