6Multisensor Image Fusion

Multisensor fusion treats information data supplied by various sensors. It can provide more comprehensive, accurate, and robust results than that obtained from a single sensor. Fusion can be defined as combined processing of the data acquired from multiple sensors, as well as assorting, optimizing, and conforming this data to increase the ability to extract information and to improve decision capability. Fusion can extend the coverage for space and time information, reduce fuzziness, increase the reliability of making decisions, and improve the robustness of systems.

Image fusion is a particular type of multisensor fusion, which takes images (include video frames) as operating objects. In a more general sense, the combination ...
