Image Sequence Fusion Using a Shift-Invariant Wavelet Transform
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we propose a novel approach to the fusion of spatially registered images and image sequences. The fusion method incorporates a shift invariant extension of the discrete wavelet transform, which yields an overcomplete signal representation. The advantage of the proposed method is the improved temporal stability and consistency of the fused sequence compared to other existing fusion methods. We further introduce an information theoretic quality measure based on mutual information to quantify the stability and consistency of the fused image sequence.

Pixel-Level Image Fusion: The Case of Image Sequences
In pixel-level image sequence fusion, a composite image sequence has to be built of several spatially registered input image sequences. One of the primary goals in image sequence fusion is the temporal stability and consistency of the fused image sequence. To fulfill the preceding desiderata, we propose a novel approach based on a shift invariant extension of the 2D discrete wavelet transform, ...

متن کاملExposure Fusino Based on Shift-Invariant Discrete Wavelet Transform
Until now, most exposure fusion methods are easy to be influenced by the location of object in the image. However, when capturing the source images, slight shift in the camera’s position will yield blurry or double images. In order to solve the problem, a method called SIDWTBEF is proposed, which is based on shift-invariant discrete wavelet transform (SIDWT). It is more robust to images those h...
متن کاملPerformance of Feature level fusion of Multi-focused images using Stationary Wavelet Packet Transform
Image fusion is defi ned as the process of combining two or more different images into a new single image retaining important features from each image with extended information content. There are two approaches to image fusion, namely spatial fusion and transform fusion and three levels namely pixel, feature and region level. In spatial fusion, the pixel values from the source images are direct...
متن کاملImage Fusion Using Complex Wavelets
The fusion of images is the process of combining two or more images into a single image retaining important features from each. Fusion is an important technique within many disparate fields such as remote sensing, robotics and medical applications. Wavelet based fusion techniques have been reasonably effective in combining perceptually important image features. Shift invariance of the wavelet t...
