Abstract

Abstract : This paper presents methods for intrachannel and interchannel fusion of thermal and visual sensors used in long-distance terrestrial observation systems. Intrachannel spatial and temporal fusion mechanisms used for image stabilization, super-resolution, denoising, and deblurring are supplemented by interchannel data fusion of visual- and thermal-range channels for generating fused videos intended for visual analysis by a human operator. Tests on synthetic, as well as on real-life, video sequences have confirmed the potential of the suggested methods.
