MR and CT Image Fusion Using Nonlinear Anisotropic Filtering in PCA Domain

Abstract

In medical science it has been commonly used for computer-aided brain surgery, Alzheimer’s therapy, tumour identification & other medical assessment. Accurate fusion algorithms can be made to ensure proper detection of diseases. The mechanism of fusion is incredibly insightful, since it transforms information from a single picture from two or more pictures into a single picture. In addition, the most common application is the use of images of the magnet resonance (MR) & the computed tomography image (CT). The objects in the source images must be reduced. A new algorithm is introduced here for image fusion. In the principal component analysis (PCA) domain, the nonlinear anisotropic filtering (NLAF) most efficiently preserves texture features of the segmented image. The source images are broken down into estimation & information layers by NLAF. The PCA support is used to measure the actual detail & approximation layers. Fusioned images are eventually generated by last detail and approximation layers linear combination. The algorithm suggested efficiency & quantitative output is evaluated by image consistency parameters, including the PSNR, entropy (E), square-root root (RMS) & structural similitude (SSIM) indices. Compared with the conventional & recent image fusion algorithms, detailed simulation findings of the suggested hybrid technique. Evaluation of efficiency shows that the proposed fusion solution is beyond the actual fusion approach.
