Studies on the performance analysis of enhanced image fusion techniques

Abstract

Image fusion is defined as the process of combining relevant information from two or more images captured using different sensors, in order to produce a single output image with an appealing visual perception. It is considered to be one of the most powerful tools revolutionizing the field of image processing in diverse areas like medicine, astronomy, defense and so on. For e.g., fusion of an IR image and visible image finds its application in military field. Fusion of Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance (MR) images provides better information in medical diagnosis.
