| Summary: | The rapid development of remote sensing and space technology provides multisource remote sensing image data for earth observation in the same area. Information provided by these images, however, is often complementary and cooperative, and multisource image fusion is still challenging. This paper proposes a novel multisource remote sensing image fusion algorithm. It integrates the contrast saliency map (CSM) and the sum-modified-Laplacian (SML) in the nonsubsampled shearlet transform (NSST) domain. The NSST is utilized to decompose the source images into low-frequency sub-bands and high-frequency sub-bands. Low-frequency sub-bands reflect the contrast and brightness of the source images, while high-frequency sub-bands reflect the texture and details of the source images. Using this information, the contrast saliency map and SML fusion rules are introduced into the corresponding sub-bands. Finally, the inverse NSST reconstructs the fusion image. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed multisource remote image fusion technique performs well in terms of contrast enhancement and detail preservation.
