| Abstract | An advanced discrete wavelet transform (aDWT) for image fusion was recently proposed and the aDWT algorithm was further optimized with an iterative procedure utilizing quantitative fusion metrics - the image quality index (IQI) and ratio spatial frequency error (rSFe), respectively. In this paper, a modified rSFe metric by considering the first-order and second-order gradients (denoted as rSFe_2nd) is presented. Using rSFe_2nd and normalized mutual information (NMI) as optimization metrics, two new iterative aDWT (aDWTi) algorithms are developed. For comparison purpose, Laplacian pyramid and regular DWT are also implemented. Spatial frequency and entropy are used as quantitative evaluation metrics. For visual examination, three frequently-used image pairs were analyzed and presented. From the experimental results, it is found that (1) the aDWTi-rSFe or aDWTi-rSFe_2nd algorithm is the best; (2) the aDWTi-IQI provides us a smoothed fusion; (3) the aDWTi-NMI algorithm is unsatisfied; and (4) Laplacian pyramid is better than regular DWT but poorer than iterative DWT algorithms. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
