Optimizing the Number of Decomposition Levels for a Novel Hybrid Multifocus Image Fusion
Conference paper
Abstract
The number of decomposition levels in the novel hybrid approach adopted for multifocus image fusion affects the fusion performance. Too few decomposition levels result in poor spatial quality in the fused images. On the other hand, too many levels induce distortion between the original and the fused images. In general, fusion of images with larger resolution requires a higher number of decomposition levels. In this paper, an optimization approach to determine the optimal number of decomposition levels is presented.
