Data Fusion Methods for Fusing Thermal and Visual Range Video Sequences
Inter-Channel Intra-Frame Fusion
Presented here is a two-phase fusion system for video and thermal streams, which utilizes temporal and spatial fusion techniques:
In Intra-Channel Inter-Frame fusion, compensating atmospheric turbulence in visual range images using local image registration method and image denoising in thermal images using 3-D sliding window filtering in DCT domain are performed. The final fusion is achieved through an Inter-Frame Intra-Channel technique based on the local weighted average method.
