About this Research Topic
Multi-source visual information fusion can help the robotic system to perceive the real world, and image fusion is a computational technique fusing the multi-source images from multiple sensors into a synthesized image that provides either comprehensive or reliable description. At present, a lot of brain-inspired algorithms methods (or models) are aggressively proposed to accomplish this task, and the artificial neural network has become one of the most popular techniques in processing multi-source image fusion in this decade, especially deep convolutional neural networks. This is an exciting research field for the research community of image fusion and there are many interesting issues that remain to be explored, such as deep few-shot learning, unsupervised learning, application of embodied neural systems, and industrial applications.
How to develop a sound biological neural network and embedded system to fuse the multiple features of source images are basically two key questions that need to be addressed in the field of multi-source image fusion. Hence, studies of image fusion can be divided into two aspects: first, new end-to-end neural network models for merge constituent parts during the image fusion process; Second, the embodiment of artificial neural networks for image fusion systems. In addition, current booming techniques, including deep neural systems and embodied artificial intelligence systems, are considered as potential future trends for reinforcing the performance of image fusion.
