Özet

© 2021 IEEE.The aim of multispectral image fusion is to combine object or scene features of images with different spectral characteristics to increase the perceptual quality. In this paper, we present a novel learning-based solution to image fusion problem focusing on infrared and visible spectrum images. The proposed solution utilizes only convolution and pooling layers together with a loss function using no-reference quality metrics. The analysis is performed qualitatively and quantitatively on various datasets. The results show better performance than state-of-the-art methods. Also, the size of our network enables real-time performance on embedded devices. Project codes can be found at https://github.com/ferhatcan/ pyFusionSR.
