Abstract :
The paper presents a novel multi-fusion procedure which consists of two alternative sequences. The first sequence performs an image fusion by simultaneously using two different analytical transformations to the image sources, thus obtaining two intermediate fused images. The second sequence combines - in base domain - this two intermediate images using a percentage involvement of the pixel value. Thus, it follows a single and final fused image which exposes a superior and perceivable information obtained throughout the proposed method, comparing to the results achieved by a contemporan used process.
