A Geometrical Method for Multi-Focus Fusion of Color Image

In this paper, a new adaptive method for multi-focus color image fusion is proposed. It is a combination of multiresolution technique, using wavelet and local geometrical feature.The vector-valued image geometrical feature is extracted based on the extension of the first fundamental form and its eigne-values. We also give fusion results for the proposed method.
