Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a new technique for image fusion in multi-view through-the-wall radar imaging system. As most existing image fusion methods for through-the-wall radar imaging only consider a global fusion operator, it is desirable to consider the differences between each pixel using a local operator. Here, we present a fuzzy logic-based method for pixel-wise image fusion. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated on both simulated and real data from through-the-wall radar imaging system. Experimental results show that the proposed method yields improved performance, compared to existing methods.
