Abstract

A method for image fusion includes the following. One or more geometric characteristics of the NIR image and the RGB image are normalized. The normalized NIR image and the normalized RGB image are converted to a first NIR image and a first RGB image in a radiance domain, respectively. The first NIR image is decomposed to an NIR base portion and an NIR detail portion, and the first RGB image is decomposed to an RGB base portion and an RGB detail portion. The NIR base portion, RGB base portion, NIR detail portion and RGB detail portion are combined using a set of weights. A resulting weighted combination of these base and detail portions is converted from the radiance domain to a fused image in an image domain.
