Multifocus Image Fusion Based on Empirical Mode Decomposition

When scene contains objects that are on different depth of focus, display all areas of the picture very well isn't possible. Combining information from multiple images of the same scene into image with better description of the scene than any of the individual source images, the technique of multifocus image fusion has been attracting more attention in the field of digital image processing in last decade. In this paper, novel multifocus image fusion algorithm based on complex Empirical Mode Decomposition is proposed. Experimental results show that the proposed novel method for image fusion is more effective then other multifocus image fusion methods based on EMD.
