title = "Processing and fusion of thermal and video sequences for terrestrial long range observation systems",
abstract = "A two stage fusion image processing system has been developed for visual and thermal range video streams. At the first stage, an intra-channel-inter- frame fusion is applied to each channel images independently, addressing each channel specific limitations. Noise removing processing by means of 3D (spatial-temporal) local DCT adaptive filtering is applied to the thermal channel video sequence. An algorithm that compensates image distortion due to the atmospheric turbulence is applied to the visual range channel video sequence. The second stage is interframe intra-channel fusion. At this stage, thermal and visual range channel image frames are fused frame-by-frame using a weighted average scheme with locally adapted weights. Experimental results obtained for both simulated and real life thermal and visual range image sequences are demonstrated.",
