Fused Image

Medical image fusion facilitates the retrieval of complementary information from medical images and has been employed diversely for computer-aided diagnosis of life threatening diseases. Fusion has been performed using various approaches such as Pyramidal, Multi-resolution, multi-scale etc. Each and every approach of fusion depicts only a particular feature (i.e. the information content or the structural properties of an image). Therefore, this paper presents a comparative analysis and evaluation of multi-modal medical image fusion methodologies employing wavelet as a multi-resolution approach and ridgelet as a multi-scale approach. The current work tends to highlight upon the utility of these approaches according to the requirement of features in the fused image. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) based fusion algorithm has been employed in both ridgelet and wavelet domains for purpose of minimisation of redundancies. Simulations have been performed for different sets of MR and CT-scan images taken from ‘The Whole Brain Atlas'. The performance evaluation has been carried out using different parameters of image quality evaluation like: Entropy (E), Fusion Factor (FF), Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) and Edge Strength (QFAB). The outcome of this analysis highlights the trade-off between the retrieval of information content and the morphological details in finally fused image in wavelet and ridgelet domains.

Different objects could be analyzed by use of pyramid decomposition of image. Image fusion algorithm based on pyramid decomposition of image is multi-scale, multi-resolution method. Its process is completed on different scale, different resolution and different decomposition layer. Compared with spatial fusion method, fusion effects improve obviously. In this paper, principal of pyramid decomposition and process were introduced, and simulation results of image fusion based on Laplacian pyramid, gradient pyramid, ration pyramid and contrast shows that image fusion based on pyramid decomposition is improve obviously.

Combining Information

Multi-focus image fusion has established itself as a useful tool for reducing the amount of raw data and it aims at overcoming imaging cameras’ finite depth of f ield by combining information from multiple images with the same scene. Most of existing fusion algorithms use the method of multi-scale decompositions (MSD) to fuse the s ource images. MSD-based fusion algorithms provide much better performance than the conventional fusion methods .In the image fusion algorithm based on multi-scale decomposition, how to make full use of the characteristics of coefficients to fuse images is a key problem.This paper proposed a modified contourlet transform(MCT) based on wavelets and nonsubsampled directional filter banks(NSDFB). The image is decomposed in wavelet domain,and each highpass subband of wavelets is further decomposed into multiple directional subbands by using NSDFB. The MCT has the important features of directionality and translation invariance. Furthermore, the MCT and a novel region energy strategy are exploited to perform image fusion algorithm. simulation results shows that the proposed method can the fusion results visually and also improve in objective evaluating parameters.

Image Fusion Method

Image fusion method based on the non multi-scale take the original image as object of study, using various fusion rule of image fusion to fuse images, but not decomposition or transform to original images. So, it can also be called simple multi sensor image fusion methods. Its advantages are low computational complexity and simple principle. Image fusion method based on the non multi-scale is currently the most widely used image fusion methods. The basic principle of fuse method is directly to select large gray, small gray and weighted average among pixel on the source image, to fuse into a new image. Simple pixel level image fusion method mainly includes the pixel gray value being average or weighted average, pixel gray value being selected large and pixel gray value being selected small, etc. Basic principle of fusion process was introduced in detail in this paper, and pixel level fusion algorithm at present was summed up. Simulation results on fusion are presented to illustrate the proposed fusion scheme. In practice, fusion algorithm was selected according to imaging characteristics being retained.

Curvelet transform is the combination of the multi-scale analysis and multi-directional analysis transforms, which is more suitable for objects with curves. Applications of the curvelet transform have increased rapidly in the field of image fusion. Firstly, using the curvelet transform, several polarization images can be decomposed into low-frequency coefficients and high-frequency coefficients with multi-scales and multi-directions. For the low-frequency coefficients, the average fusion method is used. For the each directional high frequency sub-band coefficients, the larger value of region variance information measurement is used to select the better coefficients for fusion. At last the fused image can be obtained by utilizing inverse transform for fused curvelet coefficients. In the present work an algorithm for image fusion based on the curvelet transform was implemented, analyzed, and compared with a wavelet-based fusion algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm works better in preserving the edges and texture information compared with the wavelet-based image fusion algorithms.
