Better understanding of the real world can be obtained by fusion of images with complementary information. It was shown that an image fusion technique based on wavelet decomposition seems to be a better trade-off between spectral and spatial information in a single image. This paper presents a novel image fusion scheme that is based on wavelet transform and fuzzy logic. The two source images are first decomposed using the discrete wavelet transformation (DWT). Then different rules are used for different components in the fusion procedure. Local average energy is utilized as the fusion parameter for the low frequency component first;then membership degree of wavelet transform coefficient is used as the fusion parameter for the high frequency parts;finally, the fused image is obtained by taking inverse wavelet transform from the combined coefficients. The proposed fusion approach is shown to be effective using some remote sensing test images.

Multisensor information plays an important pole in the target recognition and other application fields. Fusion performance is tightly depended on the fusion level selectes and the approach used. Feature level fusion is a potential and difficult fusion level. Bayesian fusion method is an important theory in feature level. A new method is presented to fuse infrared images and recognize object in the paper. Firstly,Bayesian principles, fusion mode and recognition decision function are described. Then, aiming at the features of mid-wave infrared image and long-wave infrared image, we use Bayesian probability to fuse them. Last, recognize target and background obtained with training and test pattern vectors. The experiment results show stability and feasibility of the fusion recognition using Bayesian decision theory in infrared image.

In this paper we mimic a biological visual strategy to extract salient contours from complex scenes. Psychophysical and physiological studies show that the response to the stimulus within the receptive field is affected by the presence of surrounding stimuli- the response is suppressed significantly by similarly oriented stimuli in the surround while this suppression is converted to strong facilitation with the addition of collinear stimuli in the surround. According to this property of visual perception, we enhance salient contours and at the same time reduce the interference of the extraneous elements. Our results show the feasibility of the proposed method.

Uterine adenoma and uterine bleeding are the two most prevalent diseases in Chinese women. Many women lose their fertility from these diseases. Currently, a minimally invasive ablation system using an RF button electrode is being used in Chinese hospitals to destroy tumor cells or stop bleeding. In this paper, we report on a 3D US guidance system developed to avoid accidents or death of the patient by inaccurate localization of the tumor position during treatment. A 3D US imaging system using a rotational scanning approach of an abdominal probe was built. In order to reduce the distortion produced when the rotational axis is not collinear with the central beam of the probe, a new 3D reconstruction algorithm is used. Then, a fast 3D needle segmentation algorithm is used to find the electrode. Finally, the tip of electrode is determined along the segmented 3D needle and the whole electrode is displayed. Experiments with a water phantom demonstrated the feasibility of our approach.

To infrared images, the contrast of target and background is low, dim small targets have no concrete shapes and their textures cannot be reliable predicted. The paper puts forward a novel algorithm to fuse mid-wave and long-wave infrared images and detect targets. Firstly, the source images are decomposed by wavelet transformation. In usual, targets in infrared images are man-made, and their fractal dimension is different comparing with natural background. In wavelet transformation domain high-frequency part, we calculate local fractal dimension and set up fusion rule to merge corresponding sub-images of two matching source images. In low-frequency, we extract local maximum gray level to fuse them. Then reconstruct image by wavelet inverse transformation and obtain fused result image. In fusion results, the contrast between targets and background has obvious changes. And targets can be detected using contrast thresholding. The experimental results show that the method using fractal dimension to fuse dualband infrared images, and then detect targets is superior to use mid-wave or long -wave infrared images detect targets alone.

This paper introduces the new qualitative and quantitative methods, which can diagnose breast tumors. Qualitative methods include blood vessel display inside and outside of pathological changes part of breast, display of equivalent pixel curves at the part of pathological changes and display of breast tumor image edge. Accordingly, three feature extraction operators are proposed, i.e. the combination operators of anisotropic gradient and smoothing operator, an improved Sobel operator and an edge sharpening operator. Furthermore, quantitative diagnostic approaches are discussed based on blood and oxygen contents according to abundant clinical data and pathological mechanism of breast tumors. The results of clinic show that the methods of combining qualitative and quantitative diagnose are effective for breast tumor images, especially for early and potential breast cancer

In this paper, we present a new method for X-ray angiogram images enhancement using a contrast-modulated nonlinear diffusion. The original nonlinear diffusion is gradient driven, which leads into much dependence on the accurate estimation of the edge. However, it is very difficult to get the accurate estimation of edges for X-ray angiogram images, which are characterized with complex background. So it is necessary to do some improvements to this model. By designing a new concept of contrast space according to the characteristics of these images, we change the original nonlinear diffusion into contrast-modulated nonlinear diffusion. Compared with the traditional method, this new approach is proved to have a better performance of enhancement
