研究目的
To overcome the limitations of multi-focus image fusion (MFIF) methods in dealing with motion, be it camera shake or motion due to moving objects in the scene, by proposing a generic method that reconstructs images sharing the geometry of a reference image and the sharpness content of the source images.
研究成果
The proposed non-local multi-focus image fusion (NL-MFIF) method effectively deals with hand-held acquisition conditions and moving objects by reconstructing a stack of images with the geometry of a reference image and variable levels of blur. It outperforms recent methods based on SIFTs and CNN in avoiding ghosts and artefacts. Future work includes application to other static MFIF schemes and development of a subjective evaluation protocol.
研究不足
The method's performance is evaluated visually on a database of challenging scenes due to the lack of a ground truth for dynamic images. The approach may require further optimization for handling non-rigid deformations or strong mis-registrations.
