Image fusion is a very practical technology that can be applied in many fields, such as medicine, remote sensing and surveillance. An image fusion method using multi-scale decomposition and joint sparse representation is introduced in this paper. First, joint sparse representation is applied to decompose two source images into a common image and two innovation images. Second, two initial weight maps are generated by filtering the two source images separately. Final weight maps are obtained by joint bilateral filtering according to the initial weight maps. Then, the multi-scale decomposition of the innovation images is performed through the rolling guide filter. Finally, the final weight maps are used to generate the fused innovation image. The fused innovation image and the common image are combined to generate the ultimate fused image. The experimental results show that our method’s average metrics are: mutual information ( M I )—5.3377, feature mutual information ( F M I )—0.5600, normalized weighted edge preservation value ( Q A B / F )—0.6978 and nonlinear correlation information entropy ( N C I E )—0.8226. Our method can achieve better performance compared to the state-of-the-art methods in visual perception and objective quantification.

Abstract. We employ elements of information theory to quantify (i) the information content related to data collected at given measurement scales within the same porous medium domain and (ii) the relationships among information contents of datasets associated with differing scales. We focus on gas permeability data collected over Berea Sandstone and Topopah Spring Tuff blocks, considering four measurement scales. We quantify the way information is shared across these scales through (i) the Shannon entropy of the data associated with each support scale, (ii) mutual information shared between data taken at increasing support scales, and (iii) multivariate mutual information shared within triplets of datasets, each associated with a given scale. We also assess the level of uniqueness, redundancy and synergy (rendering, i.e., information partitioning) of information content that the data associated with the intermediate and largest scales provide with respect to the information embedded in the data collected at the smallest support scale in a triplet. Highlights. Information theory allows characterization of the information content of permeability data related to differing measurement scales. An increase in the measurement scale is associated with quantifiable loss of information about permeability. Redundant, unique and synergetic contributions of information are evaluated for triplets of permeability datasets, each taken at a given scale.

AbstractWe propose a metric – called Multi-Scale Relevance (MSR) – to score neurons for their prominence in encoding for the animal’s behaviour that is being observed in a multi-electrode array recording experiment. The MSR assumes that relevant neurons exhibit a wide variability in their dynamical state, in response to the external stimulus, across different time scales. It is a non-parametric, fully featureless indicator, in that it uses only the time stamps of the firing activity, without resorting to any a priori covariate or invoking any specific tuning curve for neural activity. We test the method on data from freely moving rodents, where we found that neurons having low MSR tend to have low mutual information and low firing sparsity across the correlates that are believed to be encoded by the region of the brain where the recordings were made. In addition, neurons with high MSR contain significant information on spatial navigation and allow to decode spatial position or head direction as efficiently as those neurons whose firing activity has high mutual information with the covariate to be decoded.
