초록

본 논문은 최근 소개된 curvelet 변환 구성을 사용하여 하잇브리드 다초점 이미지 융합 기법을 다룬다. 하잇브리화는 MS 융합 규칙을 새로운 "복제" 방법과 결합시킴으로써 얻어진다. 제안된 기법은 MS 규칙을 사용하여 각 분해 레벨 이미지의 스펙트럼내에 m개의 가장 두드러진 항들만을 융합시킨다. 이 기법은 이미지의 어떠한 스케일과 방향, 이동에서 변환 집합의 MSC에 충실하여 m-항 융합으로 합성이 이루어진다. 제안한 방법을 평가하기 위하여 Xydeas 와 Petrovic이 제안한 경계선에 민감한 객관적 품질 척도를 적용하였다. 실험 결과는 제안한 기법이 잉여, 쉬프트-불변 Dual-Tree 복소수 웨이블릿 변환에 대한 대안으로서의 가능성을 보여주었다. 특히, 50%의 m-항 융합은 어떤 시각적인 품질 저하를 갖지 않는 결과를 주는 것이 확인되었다.

This paper addresses a hybrid multi-focus image fusion scheme using the recent curvelet transform constructions. Hybridization is obtained by combining the MS fusion rule with a novel "copy" method. The proposed scheme use MS rule to fuse the m most significant terms in spectrum of an image at each decomposition level. The scheme is dubbed in this work as m-term fusion in adherence to its use of the MSC (most significant coefficients) in the transform set at any given scale, orientation, and translation. We applied the edge-sensitive objective quality measure proposed by Xydeas and Petrovic to evaluate the method. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme is a potential alternative to the redundant, shift-invariant Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet transforms. In particular, it was confirmed that a 50% m-term fusion produces outputs with no visible quality degradation.
