Abstract

To solve the problem that the details of fusion images are not retained well and the information of feature targets is incomplete, we proposed a new fusion method of infrared (IR) and visible (VI) image—IR and VI image fusion method of dual non-subsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) and pulse-coupled neural network (PCNN). The method makes full use of the flexible multi-resolution and multi-directional of NSCT, and the global coupling and pulse synchronization excitation characteristics of PCNN, effectively combining the features of IR image with the texture details of VI image. Experimental results show that the algorithm can combine IR and VI image features well. At the same time, the obtained fusion image can better display the texture information of image. The fusion performance in contrast, detail information and other aspects is better than the classical fusion algorithm, which has better visual effect and evaluation index.
