Infrared and visible fusion algorithm based on latLRR and PCNN
Aiming at the infrared and visible images with large spectral differences
this paper proposed a multi-scale fusion model based on latent low rank representation (LatLRR) and pulse coupled neural network (PCNN). Firstly
the proposed algorithm used non-subsampled shearlet transform (NSST) to acquire the low and high-frequency components of the image. In view of the low-frequency component of the image to determine the final fusion effect
the LatLRR algorithm was used to mine the intrinsic salient features of the source image
and this feature was used to adaptively weight the fusion of low-frequency components. In addition
for the high-frequency components that determined the details of the fused image
the dual-channel PCNN model was used as its fusion rule. Among them
the average gradient operator (AVG) and the sum of the direction gradients operator (SDG) were the external stimulus and link strength of PCNN
respectively
which all can better characterize the texture characteristics of the image. Through the above new fusion rules
the saliency features contained in the infrared images can be perfectly combined with the gradient features of the visible images to obtain a fused image with excellent visual effects. In this paper
three different scenarios were used to test the fusion performance of the proposed method. Compared with other typical fusion methods
the proposed algorithm has better visual effects
and the objective evaluation parameter value increases by about 2%~5%.
