X-ray and infrared image fusion in security field

Abstract

Image fusion is an important technology that combines the characteristics of different source images to produce high quality fused images. In this paper, we propose a new image fusion method based on HSI space for infrared and X-ray images in security field. After color transfer, the fused image can combine the advantages of high-resolution detail of X-ray images, and the thermal distribution of infrared images. Extensive experimental results show our fusion algorithm achieves good outcome.
