Recent Advances in Image Fusion and Quality Improvement for Cyber-Physical Systems
Multi-source visual information fusion and quality improvement 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, and quality improvement technique can be used to address the challenge of low-quality image analysis task. At present, a lot of brain-inspired algorithms methods (or models) are aggressively proposed to accomplish these two tasks, and the artificial neural network has become one of the most popular techniques in processing image fusion and quality improvement techniques 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 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 extract the multiple features of source images are basically two key questions that need to be addressed in the fields of image fusion and quality improvement. Hence, studies in this field can be divided into two aspects: first, new end-to-end neural network models for merging constituent parts during the image fusion process; Second, the embodiment of artificial neural networks for image processing 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 and quality improvement.
