Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of image fusion and provides a method and a device for evaluating image fusion quality. The method comprises the following steps of: obtaining source images and a fused image of the source images; segmenting the source images by adopting a fuzzy clustering method to obtain segmented images, and uniting the segmented images into an overall segmentation map; obtaining visual variance saliency maps of the source images; computing weight maps according to the visual variance saliency maps, and computing saliency coefficients of all areas of the source images and the fused image according to the visual variance saliency maps and the overall segmentation map; computing weighted structure similarities of the fused image and the source images in the areas according to the overall segmentation map, the weight maps and the saliency coefficients; summing up the weighted structure similarities of all areas to obtain an evaluation index for the quality of the fused image. Compared with the existing EFQI (edge-dependent fusion quality index) and the traditional objective evaluation indexes, the evaluation index obtained by adopting the method provided by the invention has higher consistency with objective evaluation.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of image fusion in image processing, and in particular relates to a method and device for evaluating image fusion quality. Background technique [0002] Image fusion refers to combining two or more source images into a composite image containing significant information of each source image, so as to obtain a more comprehensive and clear description of a certain scene or target. With its outstanding detection superiority, image fusion technology is widely used in remote sensing, computer vision, medical and military target detection and recognition, and image fusion algorithms have also entered a relatively mature stage. However, compared with the maturity of the image fusion algorithm itself, the evaluation of the image fusion quality still has big defects. [0003] At present, the evaluation of image fusion quality mainly includes subjective evaluation and objective evaluation. Subjective evaluation mainly relies...
