Multi-focus Image Fusion Based on Local Clarity of SCM
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a novel image fusion algorithm based on local clarity of spiking cortical model (SCM) is put forward. Firstly, the source images are fused based on local area clarity, and this strategy can keep the focus area of source images. Then, we utilize the SCM to fuse the focus edge of source images. There are five parameters that need to be set in SCM. However, these parameters are hard to get the best combination. Thus, we will utilize biogeography-based optimization algorithm to optimize these parameters. As demonstrated by the experimental results, the proposed method has good quantitative and visual evaluation.

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...
