Nighttime images fusion based on Laplacian pyramid

Abstract

This paper expounds method of the average weighted fusion, image pyramid fusion, the wavelet transform and apply these methods on the fusion of multiple exposures nighttime images. Through calculating information entropy and cross entropy of fusion images, we can evaluate the effect of different fusion. Experiments showed that Laplacian pyramid image fusion algorithm is suitable for processing nighttime images fusion, it can reduce the halo while preserving image details.
