IMAGE FUSION USING DWT

Project Presentation

 Introduction

Image Fusion is a technique that integrates information from

multiple image sensor data such that the new image are more
suitable for further processing tasks.

An image can be described as collection of low or bandpass

copies of an original image in which both the band limit and
sample density are reduced in regular steps.

High spatial and high spectral resolution required in single image.

Most of the available equipments is not capable of providing such
data. The fused image can thus provide spatial and spectral
resolution characteristics.
 Wavelet Transform

What is Wavelet Transform:

Wavelet Transform is a type of signal
representation that can give the frequency
content of the signal at a particular instant of
time.
 Wavelet Transform

Why need wavelet transform?

Wavelet analysis has advantages over
traditional Fourier methods in analyzing
physical situations where the signal contains
discontinuities and sharp spikes.
 New Approach

Discrete wavelet transform can offer a more

precise way for image analysis.It decomposes a image into
low frequency band and high frequency band in different
levels, and it can also be reconstructed at these levels.
When images are merged in this method different
frequencies are processed differently.
Improves the quality of the new image since it works on
Feature extraction.
The fusion algorithm is performed at the pixel level.
