  • Abstract
    A novel image fusion performance metric using mutual information is proposed. The metric is based on Tsallis entropy, which is a one-parameter generalisation of Shannon entropy. Experimental results have confirmed that the proposed metric outperforms the standard MI metric by correlating better with the subjective quality of fused images.
