基于Ｃｏｎｔｏｕｒｌｅｔ变换的多聚焦图像融合 　　摘要：由于可见光成像系统的聚焦范围有限，很难获得同一场景内所有物体都清晰的图像，多聚焦图像融合技术可有效地解决这一问题。Contourlet变换具有多尺度多方向性，将其引入图像融合，能够更好地提取原始图像的特征，为融合图像提供更多的信息。该文提出了一种基于区域统计融合规则的Contourlet变换多聚焦图像融合方法。先对不同聚焦图像分别进行Contourlet变换，采用低频系数取平均，高频系数根据区域统计值决定的融合规则，再进行反变换得到融合结果。文中给出了实验结果，并对融合结果进行了分析比较，实验结果表明，该方法能够取得比基于小波变换融合方法更好的融合效果。 　　关键词：图像融合；Contourlet变换；小波变换 　　中图分类号：TP391文献标识码：A文章编号：1009-3044(2008)34-1700-03 　　Multifocus Image Fusion Based on Contorlet Transform 　　DING Lan 　　(College of Information Science Technology, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing 210016, China) 　　Abstract: Due to the limited depth-of-focus of optical lenses , it is often difficult to get an image that contains all relevant objects in focus. Multifocus image fusion method can solve this problem effectively. Contoulet transform has varying directions and multiple scales. When the contourlet transform is introduced to image fusion , the characteristics of original images are taken better and more information for fusion is obtained. A new multifocus image fusion method is proposed in this paper, based on contourlet transform with the fusion rule of region statistics. Different focus images are decomposed using contourlet transform firstly, then low-bands are integrated using the weighted average , high-bands are integrated using region statistics rule. Then the fused image will be obtained by inverse contourlet transform. The experimental results are showed, and compared with the method based on wavelet transform. Experiments show that this approach can achieve better results than the method based on wavelet transform. 　　Key words: image fusion; contourlet transform; wavelet transform 　　1 引言 　　 对于可见光成像系统来讲，由于成像系统的聚焦范围有限，场景中的所有目标很难同时都成像清晰，这一问题可以采用多聚焦图像融合技术来解决，即用同一成像镜头对场景中的两个（多个）目标分两次（多次）进行成像，将这些成像中清晰部分融合成一幅新的图像，以便于人的观察或计算机的后续处理。 　　小波变换作为一种图像多尺度几何分析工具，具有良好的空域和频域的局域性，在图像融合领域得到了广泛的应用[1-5]。但是，小波分析的优势在于反映信号的点奇异性，即反映奇异点的位置和特征，而对二维图像中的边缘如各种曲线或直线状特征等更高维的奇异性，小波则难以表达其特征。因此，人们提出了将脊波变换[6]以及曲波变换(C
