Implementation of image fusion algorithm using MATLAB (LAPLACIAN PYRAMID)

This paper represents a approach to implement image fusion algorithm ie LAPLACIAN PYRAMID. In this technique implements a pattern selective approach to image fusion. The basic idea is to perform a pyramid decomposition on each source image and finally reconstruct the fused image by performing an inverse pyramid transform. It offers benefits like resolution, S/N ratio and pixel size. The aim of image fusion, apart from reducing the amount of data, is to create new images that are more suitable for the purposes of human/machine perception, and for further image-processing tasks such as segmentation, object detection or target recognition in applications such as remote sensing and medical imaging Based on this technique finally it reconstructs the fused image from the fused pyramid.
