Distributed Fusion Filter on Images with Time Delays

This paper focuses on a distributed image fusion filtering algorithm and fusion formulas for time delayed multiple pixels received from multiple sensors (cameras). Since local cross-covariances between images are important values to implement fusion formulas, we present exact formulas for cross-covariances which are a vital factor for calculating matrix weights in image processing. Subsequent analysis of the proposed fusion algorithm is presented through a typical example demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed fusion algorithm.
