Image fusion using evolutionary algorithms: A survey

This paper is mainly intended to compare image fusion method using different evolutionary algorithms and a comparison between these methods. The survey focuses on region-based fusion techniques, which is a major area of research. The paper compares image fusion processes using various evolutionary algorithms and illustrates the advantages and disadvantages of these algorithms. This survey illustrates that a method of image fusion can also be included in the DE optimization stage with the block size optimization. Finally, it is concluded that spatial frequency can be used as the sharpness criterion and Evolutionary algorithms perform better in block size optimization.
