A Pixel-Level Multisensor Image Fusion Algorithm Based on Fuzzy Logic

A new multisensor image fusion algorithm based on fuzzy logic is proposed. The membership function and fuzzy rules of the new algorithm is defined using the Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) editor of fuzzy logic toolbox in Matlab 6.1. The new algorithm is applied to fuse Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) and Synthetic Aperture Rader (SAR) images. The fusion result is compared with some other fusion algorithms through some performance evaluation measures for the fusion effect, and the comparison results show that the new algorithm is effective.
