基于卷积与自注意力的红外与可见光图像融合

由于卷积运算过于关注图像的局部特征,在对源图像进行融合时容易造成融合图像的全局语义信息丢失。为了解决该问题,提出一种基于卷积与自注意力的红外与可见光图像融合模型。该模型在使用卷积模块提取图像局部特征的同时,还使用自注意力来提取图像全局特征。此外,由于简单运算无法满足不同层次特征的融合,提出使用嵌入式块残差融合模块来实现多层次特征融合。实验结果表明,相比无监督深度融合算法,所提的方法在主观评价与6项客观指标上的结果具有一定优势。其中,互信息、标准差和视觉保真度分别提升了61.33%、9.96%和19.46%。

Multi-focus image fusion based on block matching in 3D transform domain

Fusion methods based on multi-scale transforms have become the mainstream of the pixel-level image fusion. However,most of these methods cannot fully exploit spatial domain information of source images, which lead to the degradation of image.This paper presents a fusion framework based on block-matching and 3D(BM3D) multi-scale transform. The algorithm first divides the image into different blocks and groups these 2D image blocks into 3D arrays by their similarity. Then it uses a 3D transform which consists of a 2D multi-scale and a 1D transform to transfer the arrays into transform coefficients, and then the obtained low-and high-coefficients are fused by different fusion rules. The final fused image is obtained from a series of fused 3D image block groups after the inverse transform by using an aggregation process. In the experimental part, we comparatively analyze some existing algorithms and the using of different transforms, e.g. non-subsampled Contourlet transform(NSCT), non-subsampled Shearlet transform(NSST), in the 3D transform step. Experimental results show that the proposed fusion framework can not only improve subjective visual effect, but also obtain better objective evaluation criteria than state-of-the-art methods.

SAR image de-noising via grouping-based PCA and guided filter

A novel synthetic aperture radar(SAR)image de-noising method based on the local pixel grouping(LPG)principal component analysis(PCA)and guided filter is proposed.This method contains two steps.In the first step,we process the noisy image by coarse filters,which can suppress the speckle effectively.The original SAR image is transformed into the additive noise model by logarithmic transform with deviation correction.Then,we use the pixel and its nearest neighbors as a vector to select training samples from the local window by LPG based on the block similar matching.The LPG method ensures that only the similar sample patches are used in the local statistical calculation of PCA transform estimation,so that the local features of the image can be well preserved after coefficients shrinkage in the PCA domain.In the second step,we do the guided filtering which can effectively eliminate small artifacts left over from the coarse filtering.Experimental results of simulated and real SAR images show that the proposed method outstrips the state-of-the-art image de-noising methods in the peak signalto-noise ratio(PSNR),the structural similarity(SSIM)index and the equivalent number of looks(ENLs),and is of perceived image quality.

AN IMPROVED SPARSITY ADAPTIVE MATCHING PURSUIT ALGORITHM FOR COMPRESSIVE SENSING BASED ON REGULARIZED BACKTRACKING

Sparsity Adaptive Matching Pursuit (SAMP) algorithm is a widely used reconstruction algorithm for compressive sensing in the case that the sparsity is unknown. In order to match the sparsity more accurately, we presented an improved SAMP algorithm based on Regularized Backtracking (SAMP-RB). By adapting a regularized backtracking step to SAMP algorithm in each iteration stage, the proposed algorithm can flexibly remove the inappropriate atoms. The experimental results show that SAMP-RB reconstruction algorithm greatly improves SAMP algorithm both in reconstruction quality and computational time. It has better reconstruction efficiency than most of the available matching pursuit algorithms.

基于无监督深度学习的红外与可见光图像融合

目前已知的多数基于卷积神经网络的红外与可见光图像融合模型没有充分利用来自可见光源图像的层次特征,因此导致融合图像细节纹理不足。受残差网络和密集网络的启发,提出了一种基于无监督深度学习的图像融合算法来解决融合图像细节纹理信息不足的问题。使用的残差密集块有连续存储机制,最大程度地保留每层的特征信息,局部残差融合和全局残差融合的设计有利于学习图像中的结构纹理。此外,为了更好地保留可见光图像中的细节纹理,引入了生成对抗网络对数据集进行无监督学习。主客观实验表明,该算法不仅获得了良好的视觉融合效果,融合图像具有更多的边缘纹理信息,在客观评价指标上对比现有优秀的算法也较大的提升。
