  • Abstract
    In this paper, a new wavelet based image fusion method is proposed. In this method, the blur levels of the edge points are estimated for every slice in the stack of images. Then from corresponding edge points in different slices, the sharpest one is brought to the final image and others are eliminated. The intensities of non-edge pixels are assigned by the slice of its nearest neighbor edge. Results are promising and outperform other methods in most cases of the tested methods.
