Target-Acquisition-Performance-Model-Based Quality Metric for Multisensor Image Fusion

摘要

For applications concerning target detection and tracking, an image fusion quality metric that considers only the information preservation from the source images is not enough. A new quality metric for image fusion that combines the structural information preservation from the source images and the influence of the fusion process on the detection probability is proposed. Thus, the results of the proposed measure are more consistent with subject evaluations.
