Image fusion rule is the key that influences the quality of image fusion which is a primary branch of multisensor information fusion. This paper proposes a fusion rule based on the combination of PCA and ConsistencyChecking and applies it to multi-scale image fusion algorithm. The method applies the PCA method to the approximation image decomposed by multi-scale and adopts "Select Max" on detail image, the consistency of which is later checked with fusion decision. The proposed rule overcomes the instability and incontinuity of information occurring in the image fusion decomposed by multi-scale before. The experimental results show that better than the traditional rules, this method can effectively improve the quality of multi-sensor image fusion, and is especially applicable to images fusion of different sensors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
