Abstract
Image fusion is the combining process of complementary information of multiple same scene images into an output image. The resultant output image that is named fused image, produces more precise description of the scene than any of the individual input images. In this paper, we propose a novel simple and fast strategy for infrared (IR) and visible images based on local important areas of IR image. The fusion method is completed in three step approach. Firstly, only the segmented regions in the infrared image is extracted. Next, the image fusion is applied on segmented area and finally, contour lines are also used to improve the quality of the results of the second step of fusion method. Using a publicly available database, the proposed method is evaluated and compared to the other fusion methods. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method compared to the state of the art methods.
