Abstract

Image fusion is a technique to converge multispectral (MS) and panchromatic (PAN) images in to a one fused image which is moderately supplementary helpful compared to input images taken for fusion. Image fusion is an important task to recover an image which delivers as much as evidence of the same body part at the similar time it also assistances to decrease the storing capability to a particular image. In this paper an assessment is completed among conventional image fusion methods; principal component analysis (PCA), discrete wavelet transform (DWT), IHS transform based fusion, Brovey transform based fusion, and the projected neuro fuzzy based iterative image fusion techniques. The proposed neuro fuzzy based iterative fusion method utilizes fuzzy inference system (FIS) prepared by determining fuzzy rules and membership functions precisely. Experimentations have been finished on different datasets of multimodal satellite images. The projected technique is perceivably and significant related with the other fusion approaches. For the assessment of the fused image obtained from various fusion techniques ten diverse measures is prepared and utilized of, namely image quality index (IQI) and mutual information measure (MIM) with probability density.
