Current research on wavelet-based image fusion algorithms

Wavelet transform is efficiently applied to the area of image fusion because it’s properties such as multiresolution analysis, accurate reconstruction and similarity to people’s vision understanding. On the basis of reviewing the former research, the fusion results may be better than those with previous common fusion algorithms in many applications. This paper describes the principle and method of wavelet-based image fusion and analyzes it’s current research and future trend from the two respects: the modality of wavelet transform and fusion rules
