Abstract

Clinical image fusion is a critical technique in the field of scientific imaging which aims to mix complementary information from multiple images of the same challenge to reap a fused image with more advantageous diagnostic and medical fee. Conventional image fusion strategies have limitations in handling complex and noisy scientific images, which have prompted the use of soft computing strategies for medical image fusion. Gentle computing is an interdisciplinary subject that combines strategies from artificial intelligence, computer science, and statistical strategies to solve complex real global troubles. Gentle computing techniques ...
