A Novel Layer Based Image Fusion Approach via Transfer Learning and Coupled Dictionary

A novel layer based image fusion method is proposed in this paper. It exploits and utilizes the implicated patterns among source images with two parts: (i) proposed a more precise model roots in transfer learning and coupled dictionary for layering source images; (ii) designed appropriate fusion scheme which bases on multi-scale transformation for recombining layers into final fused image efficiently. Rigorous experimental comparison in subjective and objective demonstrates that proposed image fusion method achieves better result in visual perception and computer process.
