An Image Fusion Method Based on Curvelet Transform and Guided Filter Enhancement

الملخص EN

In order to improve the clarity of image fusion and solve the problem that the image fusion effect is affected by the illumination and weather of visible light, a fusion method of infrared and visible images for night-vision context enhancement is proposed.

First, a guided filter is used to enhance the details of the visible image.

Then, the enhanced visible and infrared images are decomposed by the curvelet transform.

The improved sparse representation is used to fuse the low-frequency part, while the high-frequency part is fused with the parametric adaptation pulse-coupled neural networks.

Finally, the fusion result is obtained by inverse transformation of the curvelet transform.

The experimental results show that the proposed method has good performance in detail processing, edge protection, and source image information.
