YDTR: Infrared and Visible Image Fusion via Y-Shape Dynamic Transformer

Tang, Wei, He, Fazhi, Liu, Yu·2023·IEEE Transactions on Multimedia

Abstract

Infrared and visible image fusion is aims to generate a composite image that can simultaneously describe the salient target in the infrared image and texture details in the visible image of the same scene. Since deep learning (DL) exhibits great feature extraction ability in computer vision tasks, it has also been widely employed in handling infrared and visible image fusion issue. However, the existing DL-based methods generally extract complementary information from source images through convolutional operations, which results in limited preservation of global features. To this end, we propose a novel infrared and visible image fusion method, i.e., the Y-shape dynamic Transformer (YDTR). Specifically, a dynamic Transformer module (DTRM) is designed to acquire not only the local features but also the significant context information. Furthermore, the proposed network is devised in a Y-shape to comprehensively maintain the thermal radiation information from the infrared image and scene details from the visible image. Considering the specific information provided by the source images, we design a loss function that consists of two terms to improve fusion quality: a structural similarity (SSIM) term and a spatial frequency (SF) term. Extensive experiments on mainstream datasets illustrate that the proposed method outperforms both classical and state-of-the-art approaches in both qualitative and quantitative assessments. We further extend the YDTR to address other infrared and RGB-visible images and multi-focus images without fine-tuning, and the satisfactory fusion results demonstrate that the proposed method has good generalization capability.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
