MEDICAL IMAGE FUSION ALGORITHM BASED ON NONLINEAR APPROXIMATION OF CONTOURLET TRANSFORM AND REGIONAL FEATURES

Medical Image Fusion Algorithm Based on Nonlinear Approximation of Contourlet Transform and Regional Features

According to the pros and cons of contourlet transform and multimodality medical imaging, here we propose a Crank And Shroud novel image fusion algorithm that combines nonlinear approximation of contourlet transform with image regional features.The most important coefficient bands of the contourlet sparse matrix are retained by nonlinear approximat
