Abstract:In order to overcome the drawbacks of the traditional multiscale transform based image fusion algorithm which
cannot restrain the noise influence, a multifocus image fusion method is proposed based on the multiscale products of lifting
stationary wavelet transform(LSWT). At the same time, the local visibility and the local visual properties contrast of the
multiscale products are proposed for the fusion of the low frequency subband coefficients and the high frequency subbands
coefficients, respectively. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm not only can restrain the noise influence, but
also can provide a better performance in terms of both visual quality and objective evaluation, compared with the traditional
fusion methods.
