Fusion of Infrared and Visible Images Based on Edge Feature and Adaptive PCNN in NSCT Domain
To improve the contrast and preserve more image details in the fusion of infrared and visible images
a fusion method for infrared and visible images based on nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) combined with image edge feature and adaptive pulse coupled neural network (PCNN) is proposed.For the low frequency subband
the fusion is based on edges of images.For the high frequency subbands
the orientation information of each pixel in images is utilized as the linking strength
and a modified spatial frequency is adopted as the input to motivate the adaptive PCNN
and the fire amplitude is employed to determine the coefficients selection.Experimental results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
