Abstract :
In this paper we introduce the nonsubsampled shear let transform for multi-focus image fusion. In the proposed method, source images are decomposed by nonsubsampled shear let transform firstly. Then the decomposition coefficients are merged according to the given fusion rule. Finally the fused image is reconstructed by inverse nonsubsampled shear let transform. The experimental results over five pairs of registered multi-focus images and one pair of mis-registered multi-focus images demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method.
