Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods and apparatus to providing image fusion using a number of image processing approaches. In one embodiment, a single image is processed and image fusion is performed. In exemplary embodiments of the invention, image enhancement, denoising, edge detection, etc., can be provided.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for performing image fusion for image processing, comprising: receiving a first input image (I); generating, using a computer processor, N secondary outputs (I n , n=1, 2, . . . N−1, N) using N combinations of secondary image processes and/or parameter sets derived from the first input image (I); and fusing the intermediate outputs to yield a processed output (I′) including decomposing the first input image into different grayscale representations, separately processing the different grayscale representation to provide outputs, and fusing the outputs to yield the processed output (I′). 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first input image was captured by a single sensor. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first input image data was captured via multiple sensors. 4. The method according to claim 1 , further including fusing the intermediate outputs based on at least one parameter corresponding to one or more of image enhancement, image denoising, edge detection, object detection, object recognition, and/or computer aided-decision making. 5. The method according to claim 1 , further including decomposing the first input image into different subimages and fusing the subimages by different processes.
