摘要

In this work, we simulate the early visual information processing mechanisms in biological visual system (BVS) to solve the visible-infrared image fusion (VIIF) task. Concretely, both infrared and visible images are first processed with a dynamic receptive field (DRF), which is imitated by a Difference of Gaussian (DoG) function whose parameters are adjusted according to local image statistics (e.g., local edge responses). The DRF processing produces two components for each source image (e.g., the visible image or the infrared image) that respectively represent the results of On-center based DRF and Off-center based DRF. Then, the results of On-center based DRF for visible image are fused with the results of Off-center based DRF for infrared image and the results of On-center based DRF for infrared image are fused with the results of Off-center based DRF for visible image, according to the mechanisms of cortex-based center-surround fusion. Algorithmically, this step fuses the visible and infrared images processed by DRF with On-center and Off-center according to the different levels of local homogeneity. Moreover, a feedward signal acting as the sub-cortical flow is also introduced to adjust the results during the fusion. The final output image is simply obtained by the summation of two components after the cortex and sub-cortex based fusion. Qualitative and quantitative tests on four datasets demonstrate that our approach can fuse the infrared and visible images effectively with the good background details and discernible salient areas. We emphasize the importance of corticothalamic feedback, cortex and sub-cortex-based fusion, and the interactions between On-center pathway and Off-center pathway that are ubiquitous in BVS for producing the high-quality visual signals.
