Abstract: Image fusion between the infrared and color visible images can enhance vision and improve the situation awareness.A direct use of the bidimensional empirical mode decomposition (BEMD) method for image fusion suffers from a high computation cost.Therefore,this paper proposed an improved BEMD for a fast and adaptive image fusion of infrared and color visible images.It is achieved by using order statistics filter and modified Gaussian filter to calculate the mean envelope directly,so as to accelerate the sifting process within the original BEMD.Firstly,the color visible image is transformed into IHS components.Secondly,the intensity component and the infrared image are decomposed into high frequency components and the low frequency components by means of the improved BEMD.Then,the adaptive local weighted fusion rule and the arithmetic mean rule are respectively applied to fuse the high frequency components and the low frequency components.Finally,the new intensity is transformed back into RGB.The proposed image fusion scheme is not only fast but also able to achieve the best fusion result,which merges edge details in the infrared image and the spectral information in the color visible image well.

Key words: Adaptive local weighted fusion rule, BEMD, Gaussian filter, Image fusion, Order statistics filter
