Abstract

The subject of this chapter is image fusion techniques which rely on simple pixel-by-pixel operations. The techniques include the basic arithmetic operations, logic operations and probabilistic operations as well as slightly more complicated mathematical operations. The image values include pixel gray-levels, feature map values and decision map labels. Although more sophisticated techniques are available, the simple pixel operations are still widely used in many image fusion applications.
