| Abstract | Deep learning (DL) has achieved significant attention in the field of infrared (IR) and visible (VI) image fusion, and several attempts have been made to enhance the quality of the final fused image. It produces better results than conventional methods; however, the captured image cannot acquire useful information due to environments with poor lighting, fog, dense smoke, haze, and the noise generated by sensors. This paper proposes an adaptive fuzzy-based preprocessing enhancement method that automatically enhances the contrast of images with adaptive parameter calculation. The enhanced images are then decomposed into base and detail layers by anisotropic diffusion-based edge-preserving filters that remove noise while smoothing the edges. The detailed parts are fed into four convolutional layers of the VGG-19 network through transfer learning to extract features maps. These features maps are fused by multiple fusion strategies to obtain the final fused detailed layer. The base parts are fused by the PCA method to preserve the energy information. Experimental results reveal that our proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance compared with existing fusion methods in a subjective evaluation through the visual experience of experts and statistical tests. Moreover, the objective assessment parameters are conducted by various parameters ( |
