Multifocus image fusion scheme based on features of multiscale products and PCNN in lifting stationary wavelet domain

► We propose a new image fusion method for the fusion problem of multifocus image. ► Multiscale products is developed to distinguish edge structures from the noise. ► The clarity of each pixel is defined and used to adjust the linking strength. ► Two features of low and high frequency subband are used to motivate the PCNN. ► The new image fusion method exhibit clear advantages over other methods.
