  • Abstract
    We present three variants of a new quality metric for image fusion. The interest of our metrics, which are based on an image quality index recently introduced by Wang and Bovik in [Z. Wang et al., March 2002], lies in the fact that they do not require a ground-truth or reference image. We perform several simulations which show that our metrics are compliant with subjective evaluations and can therefore be used to compare different image fusion methods or to find the best parameters for a given fusion algorithm.
