The methodology of THz-VIS fused images evaluation

Abstract

Image fusion can be used in a wide range of security applications, for example in detection and identification of hidden objects. Our goal is to build a harmless-to-humans system for screening and detecting hidden objects by means of a THz camera. A very important aspect of applying various processing techniques to images is the proper assessment of image quality. We propose a combination of two image quality assessment methods as a methodology of assessing the quality of fused images and a method to compare image fusion algorithms. © 2013 PhotonicsSociety of Poland.
