    Area of Science:

    • Computer Vision
    • Image Processing

    Background:

    • Image fusion techniques aim to create a single, clear image from multiple images with varying focus.
    • Existing methods may struggle with complex image sequences or achieving extended depth of field.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a region-based technique for multifocus color image sequence fusion.
    • To effectively extend the depth of field (DOF) of camera systems.

    Main Methods:

    • A region-based approach using mean shift segmentation to identify fusion areas.
    • Modified Laplacian (LAP2) as a focus measure for selecting clearest image regions.
    • Fusion in the LUV color space for enhanced color fidelity.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed technique successfully generated a final image with all parts in focus.
    • Quantitative metrics including mutual information, QAB/F, entropy, standard deviation, sharpness, contrast, average gradient, and spatial frequency confirmed good performance.
    • Experiments on standard HeliconSoft image sequences validated the technique's effectiveness.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed region-based fusion technique offers a robust solution for multifocus image sequences.
    • The method effectively extends the depth of field (DOF) of camera systems.
    • The approach demonstrates good performance in generating high-quality, fully focused images.
