Abstract
ABSTRACT In order to make full use of the important features of the source image, an infrared and visible fusion method based on iterative guided filtering and two-channel adaptive pulse coupled neural network is proposed. The input image is decomposed into basic layer, small scale layer and large scale layer by an iterative guide filter. The base layer is fused by combining pixel energy and gradient energy. Then we fuse the large scale layer and small scale layer via two-channel adaptive pulse coupled neural network. The fused image is obtained by the inverse mixing multi-scale decomposition method. Experimental results show that compared with other multi-scale decomposition methods, the proposed method can better separate spatial overlapping features, and preserve more detailed information in fused image, effectively suppress artefacts.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Image and Data Fusion provides a single source of information for all aspects of image and data fusion methodologies, developments, techniques and applications. Image and data fusion techniques are important for combining the many sources of satellite, airborne and ground based imaging systems, and integrating these with other related data sets for enhanced information extraction and decision making. Image and data fusion aims at the integration of multi-sensor, multi-temporal, multi-resolution and multi-platform image data, together with geospatial data, GIS, in-situ, and other statistical data sets for improved information extraction, as well as to increase the reliability of the information. This leads to more accurate information that provides for robust operational performance, i.e. increased confidence, reduced ambiguity and improved classification enabling evidence based management. The journal welcomes original research papers, review papers, shorter letters, technical articles, book reviews and conference reports in all areas of image and data fusion including, but not limited to, the following aspects and topics: • Automatic registration/geometric aspects of fusing images with different spatial, spectral, temporal resolutions; phase information; or acquired in different modes • Pixel, feature and decision level fusion algorithms and methodologies • Data Assimilation: fusing data with models • Multi-source classification and information extraction • Integration of satellite, airborne and terrestrial sensor systems • Fusing temporal data sets for change detection studies (e.g. for Land Cover/Land Use Change studies) • Image and data mining from multi-platform, multi-source, multi-scale, multi-temporal data sets (e.g. geometric information, topological information, statistical information, etc.).
