title = "Fusion of multi-resolution visible image and infrared images based on guided filter",
abstract = "Because of the poor lighting conditions at night time, visible images are often fused with corresponding infrared images for enhancement of the scenes in night vision. In this paper, a novel image fusion algorithm is presented for fusion of visible image and infrared image with different resolutions. The multiresolution image fusion is carried on by the following five steps: 1) different resolution images are transformed into the same resolution by use of wavelet transform; 2) to enhance the visibility of dark region content in the decomposed visible image, a novel night-vision enhancement method is presented based on guided filter; 3) the infrared image information is injected into the visible image through a multi-scale fusion approach based on guided filter; 4) inverse wavelet transform is used to achieve the fusion image; 5) to further improve the visibility of the fusion image, it is enhanced by use of an adaptive enhancement method.",
