Article Preview

Abstract:

Contourlet transform is a new multi-scale, multi-resolution analysis tool. This paper studied on the theory of Contourlet transform.,According to the practical application requirements of characteristics of data, much details in complex images it propose a novel image fusion method of remote sensing images based on contourlet Coefficients correlativity of directional region. Besides improving fused images spatial resolution, our method can better preserve original multi-spectral image’s color information.Extensive experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to conventional methods in terms of entropy, joint entropy, and average gradient. It can enhance the spatial resolution of target images. Meanwhile, it well preserves the color information of multi-spectral images.
