ABSTRACT

Image fusion is the concept to integrate multiple same scene images while drawing out maximum radiometric information from them by avoiding noise and fictional data. The main objective is to improve the radiometric quality of fused image compared to individual images of the same scene. Existing methods are found to be efficient, but if the similar radiometric information is fused into every image, it produces redundant high frequency of pixels. Therefore, to overcome this issue, in this paper a fuzzy and stationary discrete wavelet transform (FSDWT)-based image fusion technique is proposed. It decomposes Landsat image into stationary values, and then it preserves the radiometric data by using fuzzy if-then rules. In the last phase, FSDWT injects high-frequency blocks from input images and returns a single Landsat image with maximum radiometric data. Quantitative analysis has clearly demonstrated that FSDWT has better structural detail, spatial resolution and spectral information than existing methods.
