Fusion of registered images of night scenery that are obtained from cameras tuned to different band-widths will be a significant component of future night-vision devices. A new algorithm for such multispectral image fusion is described. The algorithm performs gray-scale image fusion using a method based on principal components. The monochrome fused image is then colored by means of a suitable pseudocoloring technique to produce the fused color output image. The approach can easily be used for any number of bandwidths. Examples illustrate the algorithm’s use to fuse an intensified low-light visible image with another image obtained from a single forward-looking infrared camera. The algorithm may be implemented readily in hardware for use in night-vision devices as an important aid to surveillance and navigation in total darkness. The applicability of the technology to transportation is also discussed.

In order to observe night vision image easily, a new image fusion method is designed to improve the detail information of night vision images in a simple and efficient way. Instead of the traditional Multi-resolution analysis and spatial transform approach, the designed method highlights the detail information of night vision images by phase modulation and image enhancement technique. In the designed approach, the phase spectrum and amplitude spectrum of the visible and infrared images are extracted using FFT firstly, and then the phase spectra of two images are exchanged and the IFFT is applied to the processed images to produce phase information images. To compensate for the blurring caused by phase modulation, the high-frequency information of the processed infrared image is segmented and applied to the reconstruction of the color night vision image. Finally, color night vision image is fused by assigning the two-modulated images to red and green channels respectively, and the segmented image to blue channel. The experimental results show that the details of the fused image by the new method are richer than those of the images fused by the traditional methods, and the designed algorithm with a little amount of calculation can be easily realized in real-time processing systems.
