Image Fusion Methodlogy Using Hybrid Pyramidal DWT-Lp Approach

Abstract

Image fusion is described as the process of combining two or more images to form a more informatics resultant
image than any of the image used as input image. Image fusion is done to obtain a more enhanced and informative and more
quality image from two or more images that are taken from different perspectives, different sensor, different modal and
different temporal. The application areas of image fusion include both military and domestic purposes and even medical
purposes. Several techniques have been designed till date for efficient fusion like Principal Component Analysis, Discrete
Wavelet based fusion etc. This paper presents a hybrid technique for image fusion and the results of the applied hybrid
technique are analyzed and verified using the MATLAB software.
