Abstrakt: This paper proposes a technique for medical picture fusion based on the guided image filter . It utilizes guided filtering to smooth images, using texture information as guidance for the filter . Weight maps of the detail images are created through pixel weight computation based on image statistics. Finally, the source images are combined using a weighted average combining approach. The effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated in terms of multiple quantitative image quality assessment factors and compared with several state-of-the-art image fusion algorithms. Experimental results indicate that the suggested approach for image fusion is effective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
