Using spatial-frequency features for visible and infrared image fusion
摘要
Visible and infrared image fusion aims to integrate multi-sensor information to produce high-quality images that enhance target visibility and texture under low-light conditions. However, existing methods often focus on single-domain feature fusion and overlook the interactions between spatial and frequency domains, resulting in poor texture details and visual effects in low-light conditions. To solve these difficulties, we propose using Spatial-Frequency feature for visible and infrared image fusion framework (SFVIF), which includes modules for Spatial feature extraction, Channel-Aware Fourier, and Local Fourier features, designed to extract spatial, global Channel-Aware Fourier, and local Fourier features, respectively. The features are subsequently combined using a feature fusion module, with a Cross-Gated Attention module further refining the fusion outcomes. Experimental results show that SFVIF generates images with detailed textures and strong contrast in challenging low-light conditions, achieving better fusion quality, visual effects and robustness than state-of-the-art methods on the MSRS, Roadscene, and
