Objectives

The aim of this talk is threefold.

First, I shall introduce the problem of image fusion and its role in modernsignal processing.

Next, I shall discuss wavelets from a mathematical point of view.

Finally, I will show how wavelets offer a powerful technique in imagefusion, and some recent work on these fusion algorithms.

Image Data

It’s a cliche: we live in an era of BIG DATA.

Consider, for example, the variety of imaging techniques available forsatellite imaging devices: RADAR, LIDAR, SONAR, visible, infared,gamma, multispectral, hyperspectral, panchromatic, etc.

Each of these types of image data focuses on different features such assharp edges, floral distribution, or mineral composition.

Central Problem of Image Fusion:

Combine these disparate images into one, which captures the best features ofeach individual component.

Why Image Fusion?

NASA has hundreds of satellites in orbit:

These take images in a variety of styles and resolutions. How tosynthesize these?

Landsat 7 Satellite

The Landsat 7 satellite orbits the earth, producing 8 bands of images.Bands 1-7 are multispectral. Band 8 is panchromatic. Let’s look at someimages taken in 2000, over Hasselt, Belgium.

Fourier Series

Harmonic analysis studies decompositions of functions into elementarypieces.The first and still canonical example of this approach is Fourier series:

Theorem

(Dirichlet) Suppose f ∈ L1[0,2π] is differentiable at x ∈ (0,1).

f (x) =∞∑

n=−∞cneinx ,where cn =

12π

∫ 2π

0f (y)e−iny dy .

So, we can decompose a “nice” function into a series that describesparticular aspects of its behavior.Fourier series emphasize frequency content, so functions like sums ofsin(x) and cos(x) are particularly well-represented in this system.

Wavelets

There are other decompositions that emphasize other aspects of afunction. Wavelets are an example of such a decomposition method.While Fourier series decomposes with respect to frequency, waveletsdecompose with respect to location and scale:

Theorem

For a suitably chosen wavelet function ψ, we may decompose any f ∈ L2(R)as

f (x) =∞∑

j=−∞

∞∑k=−∞

ck,j2−j2ψ(2−jx − k),where ck,j = 2−

j2

∫R

f (y)ψ(2−jy − k)dy

Notice that our sum indexes over k , j . Changing k translates ψ. Changingj dilates ψ, picking up more local behavior (j < 0) or more global behavior(j > 0).

Choices for ψ

Many choices of wavelet function ψ can be constructed mathematically,but a few are particularly well-used in applications.

Wavelets are good for Images

As mentioned, functions of an oscillatory nature are well-represented bypartial sums of their Fourier series.

Functions representing images are usually well-represented by partialsums of wavelet decompositions.

This is so much so that the standard image compression algorithmJPEG2000 is wavelet-based!

The scale and translation information succinctly captures the essence ofmany images.

Wavelets+Fusion

Can we use wavelets for our problem in image fusion?

First, we note that the wavelet decomposition can be implementednumerically to decompose an image.

The discrete wavelet transform resolves an image according to1 “high frequency” features (building edges, rivers, sharp discontinuities).2 “low frequency” features (textures, variation in flora, soft transitions).

Using Algorithm

This decomposition is iterative. In the case of two dimensions(appropriate for images), the initial signal is first decomposed into fourcoefficients.One of these coefficients represents pure low frequency features (LF),the other three hybrid high and low frequency features and pure highfrequency features (HF). The LF coefficient is then further decomposed.This gives a nice tree structure, seen below for two levels ofdecomposition.

Fusion Algorithm

We can exploit this knowledge of how wavelets decompose an image.

Indeed, we shall perform our fusion in the wavelet domain bymanipulating the wavelet coefficients of our images, then recovering theoriginal image by applying an inverse transform.

This lets us use the wavelet transform’s separation of high frequencyfeatures (building edges, rivers, sharp discontinuities) and low frequencyfeatures (textures, variation in flora, soft transitions) to take the bestfeatures from each image and put them together in a new one.

The development of these algorithms is joint work with Tim Doster andWojtek Czaja.
