چکیده

Wavelet Transforms can be used for multi-resolution image fusion at pixel level, as they work both in spatial and spectral domains and result in the preservation of spatial of spectral details of input images. Different wavelet transform algorithms have been developed and applied to a variety of applications such as noise suppression, filtering, image restoration, image compression, and astronomical applications. This paper explores the use of current developed wavelet transform algorithms for multi-resolution fusion of satellite images. The aim is to investigate how appropriate these wavelet transform algorithms are for this multi-resolution image fusion. Five different types of wavelet transform algorithms are selected and the results are evaluated by comparing their spatial and spectral quality with the spatial and spectral qualities of their source satellite images (i.e. Ikonos Panchromatic and Multispectral, and Landsat TM). The findings show that different wavelet transform algorithms have a "preservation tradeoff" between the spatial quality and spectral quality. Due to the frequency shift limitation of wavelet transform, it can preserve the spatial and/or spectral details of the input images for a certain number of levels.

A New Method for Multisensor Data Fusion Based on Wavelet Transform in a Chemical Plant

This paper presents a new multi-sensor data fusion method based on the combination of wavelet transform (WT) and extended Kalman filter (EKF). Input data are first filtered by a wavelet transform via Daubechies wavelet “db4” functions and the filtered data are then fused based on variance weights in terms of minimum mean square error. The fused data are finally treated by extended Kalman filter...
