Multimodal medical image fusion using shift invariant shearlet transform

  Hanumantha Rao Bitra

This In this paper we propose a new fusion algorithm for multi-modal medical images based on Shearlet transform. It is one of the state-of-the-art Multi-scale Geometric Analysis (MGA) tools. The quality of the fused outcome is determined by the amount of the information captured from the source images, a multi-modal medical image fusion method is developed in the Shift-invariant Shearlet transform (SIST) domain. Firstly, the non-sub sampled pyramid (NSP) is used to decompose an image into low and high-frequency components, and then direction filtering is employed to get the different sub bands and different direction shearlet coefficients. In this, the probability density function and standard deviation of the SIST coefficients are employed to calculate the fused coefficients. Finally, the fused image is obtained by applying inverse SIST
