In [Chipman et al. 1995] the focus is on fusing multispectral aerial photos using a set of basic operations on particular sets of wavelet coefficients which correspond to certain frequency bands. In [Li et al. 1995] , a wavelet transform approach is considered which uses an area based maximum selection rule and a consistency verification step.

For example, image fusion can be used to extend the depth of focus of a camera, by fusing two views of the same scene having different depth of fields [16, 43]. This is called multifocus fusion. Similarly, fusion can be used to overcome camera limitations such as limited dynamic range by fusing images obtained from the same camera at different exposure settings [16, 47] also referred to as multiexposure fusion.

....The framework involves five different aspects of image fusion, the most basic of these, for example, is the MSD method. In previous research, the most commonly used MSD methods for image fusion were the pyramid transform (PT) 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27] and the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) [28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38]. In this paper, a type of shift invariant discrete wavelet transform is also suggested for image fusion. This shift invariant discrete wavelet transform uses an over complete version of the wavelet basis, which is called a discrete wavelet frame (DWF) This paper is one of the first to consider ....

....verification to other combining schemes, we applied this only to CM combining schemes in our tests. For CM combining, consistency verification is especially simple, it ensures that a composite MSD coefficient does not come from a different source image from most or all of its neighbors. Li [37] applied consistency verification using an majority filter. Specifically if the center composite MSD coefficient comes from image X while the majority of the surrounding coefficients come from image Y, the center sample is then changed to come from image Y. In [37] 3x3 or 5x5 windows are used for ....

Recently, multiresolution techniques such as image pyramids [1] and the 2d wavelet transform [4] have been employed for pixel level image fusion [3]. In the following, we review a generic wavelet fusion scheme and investigate its shift dependency. In section III we introduce a modified fusion method based on a shift invariant extension of the 2d wavelet transform.

The selection scheme can be a simple choose max of the absolute values or a more sophisticated area based energy computation [1] [3]. In the final step, the fused image is computed by an application of the inverse DWT on the composite wavelet representation. It is well known that the DWT yields a shift variant signal representation resulting in a shift dependent fusion scheme. We investigated the shift dependency of the ....

....is usually used to fuse the multiresolution decompositions. Consider DWT as an example. After obtaining the sets of wavelet coefficients from the source images, corresponding coefficients are compared and the one with the largest absolute value is selected for use in the composite representation [2]. The rationale is that large absolute coefficients often correspond to salient features in the images. However, obviously this simple selection rule does not always work. In this paper, we use the discrete wavelet frame transform (DWFT) 1] also called the stationary wavelet transform [3] to ....

Some methods for evaluating the spectral quality are based on the calculation of the image difference between the merged image and standard image, which is the desired merged result (Yocky 1995, Li et al. 1995).
