Image Fusion 1

This document discusses image fusion using wavelet and curvelet transforms. It begins by defining image fusion as combining multiple images into a new image to extract information and improve spatial resolution while preserving spectral information. It then states that the proposed algorithm will apply wavelet and curvelet transforms to multi-focus and complementary image fusion. The document goes on to describe discrete wavelet transforms, first and second generation curvelet transforms, and discrete curvelet transforms. It concludes by referencing related works on these image fusion techniques.

Image Fusion
Image Fusion is a combination of two or more
different images to form a new image.
Extracting information from multi-source images
Improves the spatial resolution for the original multi-
spectral image and preserve the spectral information.
Image fusion can be done in three levels:
Pixel level fusion
Feature level fusion
Decision level fusion
Objective
Image fusion based on wavelet transform and second
generation curvelet transform
The proposed algorithm applied to
Multi-focus image fusion
Complementary image fusion
Better description of the edges in images and analysis of
the features in images
Discrete Wavelet Transform
Wavelet Transform exhibits time frequency localization
and yields acceptable fused output.
The edges and singularities are not well represented.
Suffers from limited directionality
The point singularity is better suited for wavelets in 1D
signals ,but 2D signals like images have curve or line
singularities where wavelets fails to approximate.
Curvelet Transform
Curvelet Transform was proposed by Candes and Donoho
in 2000.
It was derived from Ridgelet Transform.
It involves
First Generation CT
Second Generation CT
First generation curvelet

Uses complex series of steps involving the ridgelet


analysis of radon transform of an image.

Slow performance
Second generation curvelet

Discards the use of the ridgelet transform, thus reducing


the amount of redundancy in the transform and increases
the speed considerably.
 It have two types
Continuous CT
Discrete CT
Discrete Curvelet Transform
Discrete curvelet transform (DCT) algorithms are
Un equispaced FFT Transform
The Wrapping Transform

The Wrapping Algorithm has faster computation time.


Fast Discrete Curvelet Transform
Frequency space is divided into dyadic annuli based
on concentric squares.
Each annulus is subdivided into trapezoidal regions.
