基于改进Contourlet变换的遥感图像融合算法

Remote sensing image fusion algorithm based on modified Contourlet transform

针对基于Contourlet变换的遥感融合图像空间分辨率较低的问题,提出了一种基于改进的Contourlet变换(MCT)的遥感图像融合方法。首先,对多光谱图像进行亮度-色调-饱和度(IHS)变换,得到其亮度、色调、饱和度三个分量;其次,取多光谱图像的亮度分量,与直方图匹配后的全色图像进行改进的Contourlet变换,分别获得低频子带系数与高频子带系数;然后,对低频子带系数采用平均法进行融合,对高频子带系数采用新改进的拉普拉斯能量和(NSML)作为融合规则进行融合;最后,把融合结果作为多光谱图像的亮度分量,通过IHS逆变换得到融合的遥感图像。将所提方法与基于主成分分析(PCA)和Shearlet的方法、基于PCA与小波的方法以及基于非下采样Contourlet变换(NSCT)的方法相比,所提方法在清晰度评价指标平均梯度上分别提高了7.3%、6.9%和3.9%。实验结果表明,所提方法提高了Contourlet变换的频率局部化特性和分解系数利用率,在保持多光谱信息的基础上,有效地提高了遥感融合图像的空间分辨率。

Focusing on the issue that remote sensing fusion image based on Contourlet transform has low spatial resolution, a remote sensing image fusion algorithm based on Modified Contourlet Transform （MCT） was proposed. Firstly, the multi-spectral image was decomposed into intensity component, hue component and saturation component by Intensity-Hue- Saturation （IHS） transform; secondly, Modified Contourlet decomposition was done between the intensity component and the panchromatic image after histogram matching to get low-pass subband coefficients and high-pass subbands coefficients; and then, the low-pass subband coefficients were fused by the averaging method, and the high-pass subbands coefficients were merged by Novel Sum-Modified-Laplacian （ NSML）. Finally, the fusion result was regarded as the intensity component of multi-spectral image, and remote sensing fusion image was obtained by inverse IHS transform. Compared with the algorithms based on Principal Components Analysis （PCA） and Shearlet, based on PCA and wavelet, based on NonSuhsampled Contourlet Transform （NSCT）, the average gradient that was used for evaluating image sharpness of the proposed method respectively increased by 7.3%, 6.9% and 3.9%. The experimental results show that, the proposed method enhances the frequency localization of Contourlet transform and the utilization of decomposition coefficients, and on the basis of keeping multi-spectral information, it improves the spatial resolution of remote sensing fusion image effectively.
