Abstract

A new image fusion algorithm based on nonsubsampled contourlet transform and spiking cortical model is proposed in this paper. Considering the human visual system characteristics, two different fusion rules are used to fuse the low and high frequency sub-bands of nonsubsampled contourlet transform respectively. A new maximum selection rule is defined to fuse low frequency coefficients. Spatial frequency is used for the fusion rule of high frequency coefficients. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed fusion method.
