Abstract

Taking the advantage of the lifting scheme's characters that can build wavelet transforms for transforming from integer to integer and the quality of the reconstructing image is independent of the topology way adopted by the boundary, an image fusion algorithm based on lifting scheme is proposed. This paper discusses the fundamental theory of lifting scheme firstly and then after taking transform analysis according to a kind of images that need to be confused.
