摘要:

在对源图像进行区域划分与关联的基础上,结合红外与可见光图像的成像特点和图像融合任务需求,定义了两个图像区域特征,基于该特征和融合图像与源图像的信息熵及互信息(mutual information, MI),构造了融合图像区域相似度评价指标,提出了一种新的无参红外与可见光融合图像质量评价方法。实验表明,本文所建立的融合图像质量评价指标,比目前常用的几种评价指标更接近人的视觉观感。

Abstract:

Based on the region partition and association of source images, two regional features of source images are defined  according to the imaging characteristics of infrared and visible images and the requirements of fusion tasks. A regional  similarity assessment index with the regional features and the information entropy and mutual information of fused images  and source images is constructed. A novel nonreference quality evaluation metric for infrared and visible image fusion  is proposed. Experimental results show that this metric fits the results of human visual inspection better than the  recent state of the art image fusion evaluation metrics.
