Zero and infinity images in multi-scale image fusion

Multiscale image fusion fuses information from two source images at different levels of detail. This paper discusses the limits of multiscale image fusion from an algebraic perspective and discusses the constraints that guide the identification of zero and infinity images and also their impact on fusion algorithms and metrics.
