Abstract

Effectively fusing infrared and visible images enhances the visibility of infrared target information while capturing visual details. Balancing the brightness and contrast of the fusion image adequately has posed a significant challenge. Moreover, preserving detailed information in fusion images has been problematic. To address these issues, this paper proposes a fusion algorithm based on multi-scale decomposition and adaptive contrast enhancement. Initially, we present a hybrid multi-scale decomposition method aimed at extracting valuable information comprehensively from the source image. Subsequently, we advance an adaptive base layer optimization approach to regulate the brightness and contrast of the resultant fusion image. Lastly, we design a weight mapping rule grounded in saliency detection to integrate small-scale layers, thereby conserving the edge structure within the fusion outcome. Both qualitative and quantitative experimental results affirm the superiority of the proposed method over 11 state-of-the-art image fusion methods. Our method excels in preserving more texture and achieving higher contrast, which proves advantageous for monitoring tasks.
基于混合多尺度分解和自适应对比度增强的红外与可见光图像融合
有效地融合红外图像和可见光图像可以提高红外目标信息的可见度,同时捕捉视觉细节。如何充分平衡融合图像的亮度和对比度是一项重大挑战。此外,在融合图像中保留细节信息也一直是个问题。为了解决这些问题,本文提出了一种基于多尺度分解和自适应对比度增强的融合算法。首先,我们提出了一种混合多尺度分解方法,旨在从源图像中全面提取有价值的信息。随后,我们推进了一种自适应基底层优化方法,以调节融合后图像的亮度和对比度。最后,我们设计了一种基于显著性检测的权重映射规则来整合小尺度层,从而在融合结果中保留边缘结构。定性和定量实验结果都证实了所提出的方法优于 11 种最先进的图像融合方法。我们的方法在保留更多纹理和实现更高对比度方面表现出色,这在监控任务中证明是有利的。
