In infrared and visible light image fusion algorithms, the loss of image information is always a key issue that restricts the improvement of fusion image quality. Therefore, a infrared and visible light image fusion algorithm based on split attention residual network is proposed, which uses a deep residual network with split attention module to expand receptive field and improve cross channel information fusion ability, Using smooth maximum unit functions as activation functions to further improve network performance; After feature extraction, zero phase component analysis and normalization algorithm are used to obtain fusion weights and complete image fusion. The experimental results show that the fused image has rich details and sharp edges; Compared with the classic six algorithms, it has improved to varying degrees in indicators such as peak signal-to-noise ratio, structural similarity index measurement, and gradient based fusion performance.
