چکیده

A new algorithm is introduced that performs spatially adaptive enhancement on low-light visible and infrared images of the same scene and fusion of these into one composite image. The algorithm involves lowpass/high-pass ltering and simple nonlinear operations that can be table driven. Examples of the processing on image data collected in eld tests are given.

Fusion of Thermal Infrared and Visible Images Based on Multi-scale Transform and Sparse Representation

Due to the differences between the visible and thermal infrared images, combination of these two types of images is essential for better understanding the characteristics of targets and the environment. Thermal infrared images have most importance to distinguish targets from the background based on the radiation differences, which work well in all-weather and day/night conditions also in land s...

Image Fusion & Mining Tools for a COTS Environment

We have continued development of a system for multisensor image fusion and interactive mining based on neural models of color vision processing, learning and pattern recognition. We pioneered this work while at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, initially for color fused night vision (low-light visible and uncooled thermal imagery) and later extended it to multispectral IR and 3D ladar. We also developed ...

Scene Recognition with Infrared, Low-Light, and Sensor-Fused Imagery

The goal of this study was to evaluate the information conveyed by singleand dual-band sensor imagery by assessing performance on a scene recognition task. An experiment tested immediate recognition for pictures following an initial brief viewing. Images were taken with an uncooled LIMIRS long-wave infrared sensor and a Fairchild image intensified low-light CCD, and were compared against fused,...

Modeling the potential of Sand and Dust Storm sources formation using time series of remote sensing data, fuzzy logic and artificial neural network (A Case study of Euphrates basin)

Due to the differences between the visible and thermal infrared images, the combination of these two types of images leads to better understanding of  the characteristics of targets and the environment. Thermal infrared images are really in distinguishing targets from the background based on the radiation differences and  land surface temperature (LST) calculation. However, their spatial resolu...
