A novel image fusion method based on fuzzy contourlet transform

In this paper, a novel image fusion method based on fuzzy contourlet transform is presented. The algorithm can fuse corresponding information in different resolutions and directions, which makes the fused image clearer and more abundant in details. Meanwhile, because of the fuzzy logic´s capacity of resolving uncertain problems, it overcomes the drawbacks of traditional fusion algorithm based on contourlet transform, and integrates as much information as possible into the fused image.
