Abstract :
This paper addresses the problem of image combination. The mathematical model of a general image combination (GIC) method is driven from the physical principle of image formation. It is shown that many existing image combination methods are the particular cases of the GIC method. The performance of various image combination methods is then analyzed based on the advantages and disadvantages of different assumptions.
