Abstract

This paper is proposed a wavelet-based the order statistics MAD(Median Absolute Deviation) method of image fusion of Multi-image contaminated with visible image and infrared image. also The method of compared and defined the threshold the wavelet coefficients using MAD of the wavelet coefficients of the detail subbands was proposed to effectively fusion which of selected the high quality image of the two images. The existed fusion rule may be possible to get the distorted fusion image especially by the distortion in the relation between the pixel and indicator of two images in the existed fusion rules. In order to complement the disadvantage, the threshold of the proposed method sets up the image statistic and excludes the distortion. The hardware design is used FPGA of Xilinx and DSP system for the image fusion and compressed encoding of the proposed algorithm. Therefore the proposed method is totally verified by comparing with the several other multi-image and the proposed image fusion.

본 논문에서는 서로 다른 감지장치로부터 획득한, 특성이 상이한 다중영상인 가시광선 영상과 적외선 영상의 까다로운 영상융합을 수행할 수 있는 웨이블렛 기반 MAD순서통계량을 논의한다. 상이한 두 영상의 효과적인 영상융합을 위하여 근사부분대역의 웨이블렛 계수에 가중평균(Weighted average)법으로 융합처리하고 상세 부분대역의 웨이블렛 계수에 중앙절대편차(MAD: Median Absolute Deviation)를 이용한 임계값을 비교하여 두 영상의 장점만을 표현하는 방법을 제안한다. 특히 기존의 융합규칙들은 두 영상간의 화소나 지표 값의 대 소 관계에 의해 융합 영상이 이루어짐으로서 왜곡요소가 융합영상에 포함되어 왜곡된 융합영상을 얻을 가능성이 높다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위하여 제안 방법의 임계값은 잡음과 같은 왜곡요소를 배재하고 영상의 통계량을 고려하여 설정하였다. 다양한 다중영상을 기존 영상 융합 방법들과 비교하여 제안한 영상융합 방법의 우수성을 종합적 실험결과를 통하여 확인할 수 있었다. 제안된 방법은 실시간처리를 보장하기위하여 DSP와 FPGA를 이용한 하드웨어로 구현하였으며 Xilinx FPGA를 사용하였다.
