In this study, different phases of T1-weighted, dynamic contrast-enhanced liver magnetic resonance (MR) images were combined with wavelet-based image fusion to support decisions of radiologists. Used images has labelled as 6 different focal lesion types which focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH), hemangioma, cyst, colangiocellular carcinoma (CCC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and liver metastases. In...
This paper investigates multi-focus image fusion methods in the context of microscope. Limited depth of field is one of the major limitations in microscopy. Objects which are thicker than the depth of field cannot be captured completely within one sharp image. The solution is to capture multiple images at different focus and fuse them to derive a single sharp image. Spatial domain and transform domain...
Because the accuracy of image reconstruction in electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) technology is impacted by the "soft-field" nature and ill-posed problem, on the basis of analyzing ECT basic principle and imaging algorithm, an image fusion method based on PCA transform and wavelet transform is proposed. Firstly, the pending fusion image is transformed with PCA, and principal components...
Image fusion is the process of combining information of interest in two or more images of a scene into a single highly informative image. Generally, the multi-resolution image fusion based on the wavelet transform performs better on diverse images than traditional methods. Therefore, a comparative study of wavelet-based image fusion with different wavelet families and fusion methods are far-reaching...
Rolling examination as it is called by railway maintenance staff of Indian railways is visual and auditory examination of moving bogies of a train for defects. The undercarriage moving parts of the train are called rolling stock. This paper makes an attempt to segment the rolling stock from video frames of the rolling stock for further analysis. This paper focuses on Chan vese active contour (CV)...
The article based on the MATLAB software simulation was carried out on the image fusion, by using wavelet transform method, Lap lace pyramidal decomposition method and weighted average method of image fusion, respectively. And the integration of subjective evaluation and objective evaluation on the experimental results. The experimental results show that the wavelet transform method in image fusion...
Mutimodal medical image fusion has been used to derive complementary information from different modality of medical image. Fusing images like computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images can improve the image content, it also can provide more information to the doctor for diagnosing. In this article, a multimodal medical image fusion method based on wavelet transform (WT) and...
The objective of image fusion is to combine relevant information from two or more images of the same scene into a single composite image which is suitable for human and machine perception. Spatial domain based methods produce spatial distortions in the fused image which can be well handled by the use of wavelet transform based methods. In this paper, we proposed a pixel-level image fusion scheme using...
The fast development of digital image processing leads to the growth of feature extraction of images which leads to the development of image fusion. There are two approaches to image fusions, wavelet transform and watershed algorithm. First, the source images are decomposed by wavelet to get the approximate and detailed coefficients of the images. Then the sub-image with the detailed coefficients...
Pan-sharpening is an important remote sensing image pre-processing technique, which aims at obtaining a high-resolution multispectral (HRM) image by integrating the spectral information of a low-resolution multispectral (LRM) image and the spatial details of a high-resolution panchromatic (HRP) image.

The fusion of images is the process of combining two or more images into a single image retaining important features from each of the images. A scheme for fusion of multi-resolution 2D gray level images based on wavelet transform is presented in this paper. If the images are not already registered, a point-based registration, using affine transformation is performed prior to fusion. The images to...
In this paper, six existing image fusion algorithms, and their application to medical images are studied.
