Abstract :
Markov random field (MRF) model is a powerful tool to model image characteristics accurately and has been successfully applied to a large number of image processing applications. This paper investigates the problem of image fusion based on MRF models. A fusion algorithm under the maximum a posteriori (MAP) criterion is developed under this model. Experimental results are provided to demonstrate the improvement of fusion performance by our algorithm.
