In infrared (IR) and visible image fusion, the significant information is extracted from each source image and integrated into a single image with comprehensive data. We observe that the salient regions in the infrared image contain targets of interests. Therefore, we enforce spatial adaptive weights derived from the infrared images. In this paper, a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)-based fusion method is proposed for infrared and visible image fusion. Based on the end-to-end network structure with dual discriminators, a patch-wise discrimination is applied to reduce blurry artifact from the previous image-level approaches. A new loss function is also proposed to use constructed weight maps which direct the adversarial training of GAN in a manner such that the informative regions of the infrared images are preserved. Experiments are performed on the two datasets and ablation studies are also conducted. The qualitative and quantitative analysis shows that we achieve competitive results compared to the existing fusion methods. |
