A region-based image fusion algorithm using multiresolution segmentation

This paper describes a region-based multiresolution (MR) image fusion algorithm. The MR segmentations of source images to be fused are obtained by fuzzy c-means clustering. From these MR region representations of all the input images, we obtain a shared MR region representation to label all the input images. The fusion process is guided by these MR region representations. Experiment results using real data show that the proposed algorithm works well in multisensor image fusion.
