Abstract
This paper presents the image fusion algorithm using Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural networks. The clustering of every original image pixel is obtained by RBF neural networks combined with nearest neighbor clustering method. For each cluster center, the membership of every fused image pixel is adopted as the weighting coefficient of the weighted strategy, which is used to obtain the fusion image. The membership is obtained by maximum rule. The original data set is chosen as the candidate set of nearest neighbor clustering algorithm, and the center set of hidden units are dynamically established. In this experiment, the fusion results of various widths of hidden unit are compared with the results obtained by self-organizing feature map (SOFM) neural networks method. The influence of the various widths is discussed in this paper. The experiment results show that the proposed method can achieve better performance of the fused image.
