Embodiment Construction

[0020] In order to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the implementation manners of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] The method process of the present invention is as figure 1 As shown, firstly, the wavelet transform is performed on the infrared image and the visible light image to obtain a plurality of wavelet coefficient representations with different resolutions, and the "target" information and "background" information obtained from the original image (relatively speaking, the visible light image The background information is richer, and the target information in the infrared image is richer) to guide the fusion decision, and obtain the fused wavelet coefficient representation of different resolutions. Finally, inverse wavelet transform is performed on the fused wavelet coefficients to obtain the fused image.

[0022] The fusion decision process of the present inv...

Abstract

The invention relates to an infrared- and visible light- image fusion method, on the basis of multiresolution decomposition for the infrared- and visible light- images, utilizing their different imaging properties to obtain the relative 'object'- and 'background'- data from them, and thus dividing the fusion image into a background area, an object area and an edge part between the two areas, and then respectively adopting three different fusion rules to determine the multiresoluton expression of the fusion image, and finally making multiresolution reverse-transformation to obtain the fusion image. By an object area-based method, it fuses the infrared- and visible light- images of the same scene, and largely improves the image quality all the more.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to an image fusion method based on a target area, which is used to fuse infrared and visible light images of the same scene, and can be widely used in optical imaging, target monitoring, security inspection and other systems. Background technique: [0002] Image fusion technology is the fusion of visual information in multi-sensor information fusion. It uses different imaging methods of various imaging sensors to provide complementary information for different images, increase the amount of image information, reduce the amount of original image data, and improve adaptability to the environment. In order to obtain more reliable and accurate useful information for observation or further processing. Image fusion technology is an emerging technology that integrates sensors, signal processing, image processing and artificial intelligence. In recent years, it has become a very important and useful image analysis and computer vision tec...
