For decades detection and monitoring of forest and other wildland fires has relied heavily on
aircraft (and satellites). Technical advances and improved affordability of both sensors and …

A new quantitative metric is proposed to objectively evaluate the quality of fused imagery.
The measured value of the proposed metric is used as feedback to a fusion algorithm such …

This chapter discusses image fusion as a procedure for generating a fused image in which
each pixel is determined from a set of pixels in each source image. Other researchers define …

We present a method to give (fused) multiband night-time imagery a natural day-time colour
appearance. For input, the method requires a false colour RGB image that is produced by …

Human scene recognition performance was tested with images of night-time outdoor
scenes. The scenes were registered both with a dual band (visual and near infrared) image …

This paper focuses on the methodology for perceptual image fusion assessment through
comparative tests and validation of objective fusion evaluation metrics. Initially, the theory of …

We present an overview of our recent progress and the current state-of-the-art techniques of
color image fusion for night vision applications. Inspired by previously developed color …

Multispectral images enable robust night vision (NV) object assessment over day-night
conditions. Furthermore, colorized multispectral NV images can enhance human vision by …

There are numerous applications for image fusion, some of which include medical imaging,
remote sensing, nighttime operations and multi-spectral imaging. In general, the discrete …

We present a new method to render multi-band night-time imagery (images from sensors
whose sensitive range does not necessarily coincide with the visual part of the …
