“…On one hand, the sparse representation method is applied in image fusion based on multi-scale transform which can combine the advantages of sparse representation and multi-scale decomposition. It can solve the problem of decomposition level as well as low contrast of transform base image fusion [1,2]. As a result, the proposed method can better preserve the information in the source images.…”
Abstract.A new method of combined multi-scale decomposition and improved sparse representation (MSD-ISR) used in image fusion is proposed in this paper which has three advantages. As is known that it is hard to determine the decomposition level and it may achieve low contrast in multi-scale decomposition. The proposed MSD-ISR method can solve this problem and on the other hand, we get a higher efficiency in the process of sparse decomposition as well as better preserve the information of the source image. Experimental results show that the proposed MSD-ISR method can achieve better fusion results.

“…As a result of their successful applications in many computer vision and image processing tasks, spare representation (SR) [3] as well as its variants have been introduced to multi-sensor image fusion, including multi-focus image fusion, in recent years [1,2,[4][5][6][7][8][9]. In these SR-based fusion methods, the traditional SR model [3] seems to be the most popular one used to achieve the sparse coding of the input image patches [10].…”

“…In this imaging field, image fusion is the best technique with the couple of input images [1] and combines them to generate best vision quality input image. The goal of image fusion [4] [8] [17] [21] is having more improving informative resultant images in terms of edges, sharpness, clearness etc. Fusions with two input images are based on multi-sensor, multi-focus [20], multi-modality and multi-temporal etc.…”

“…Fusions with two input images are based on multi-sensor, multi-focus [20], multi-modality and multi-temporal etc. Further the classification of image fusion is categorized into three segment levels [4] [7] with pixel i.e. low level, features i.e.…”
Today’s research era, image fusion is a actual step by step procedure to develop the visualization of any image. It integrates the essential features of more than a couple of images into a individual fused image without taking any artifacts. Multifocus image fusion has a vital key factor in fusion process where it aims to increase the depth of field using extracting focused part from different multiple focused images. In this paper multi-focus image fusion algorithm is proposed where non local mean technique is used in stationary wavelet transform (SWT) to get the sharp and smooth image. Non-local mean function analyses the pixels belonging to the blurring part and improves the image quality. The proposed work is compared with some existing methods. The results are analyzed visually as well as using performance metrics.
