Abstract

A method relating to an image fusion includes acquiring a thermal infrared image and a visible image. The method also includes receiving a fusion parameter corresponding to a color space and generating, based on the fusion parameter, a fused image of the thermal infrared image and the visible image. The method further includes receiving a regulation parameter, the regulation parameter including a color scheme or a partial contrast, and adjusting the fused image according to the regulation parameter.

Claims (48)

1. A method comprising:

obtaining a thermal infrared image and a visible image;

receiving a fusion parameter corresponding to a color space;

generating, based on the fusion parameter, a fused image of the thermal infrared image and the visible image;

receiving a regulation parameter, the regulation parameter including a color scheme, wherein the color scheme is associated with a first temperature, a second temperature, and a direction, wherein the first temperature, the second temperature and the direction correspond to a section of a color circle; and

adjusting the fused image according to the regulation parameter, wherein the color scheme includes a black-and-white decoration, wherein the black-and-white decoration includes: changing a saturation value of a first color corresponding to the first temperature to 0; and changing an intensity value of a second color corresponding to the second temperature to 0.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the color space comprises an HSI space, a CIE space, or an RGB space.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the color space is an HSI space, and

the fusion parameter corresponding to the color space includes a hue value, a saturation value, and an intensity value.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the hue value is determined according to the thermal infrared image.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the saturation value is determined according to the thermal infrared image and the visible image.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the intensity value is determined based on the visible image.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the adjusting of the fused image according to the regulation parameter includes adjusting a color display of the fused image according to the color scheme.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

selecting a region of interest (ROI) in the fused image; and

magnifying the ROI, wherein:

the regulation parameter includes a partial contrast, and

the adjusting of the fused image according to the regulation parameter includes adjusting a contrast level of the ROI.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising tracking an object according to the fused image.

10. A system comprising:

one or more processors that are configured to execute instructions to:

obtain a thermal infrared image and a visible image;

obtain a fusion parameter corresponding to a color space;

generate, based on the fusion parameter, a fused image of the thermal infrared image and the visible image;

receive a regulation parameter, the regulation parameter including a color scheme, wherein the color scheme is associated with a first temperature, a second temperature, and a direction, wherein the first temperature, the second temperature and the direction correspond to a section of a color circle; and

adjust the fused image according to the regulation parameter, wherein the color scheme includes a black-and-white decoration, wherein the black-and-white decoration includes: changing a saturation value of a first color corresponding to the first temperature to 0; and changing an intensity value of a second color corresponding to the second temperature to 0.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the color space comprises an HSI space, a CIE space, or an RGB space.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein:

the color space is an HSI space, and

the fusion parameter corresponding to the color space includes a hue value, a saturation value, and an intensity value.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the hue value is determined according to the thermal infrared image.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the saturation value is determined according to the thermal infrared image and the visible image.

15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the intensity value is determined based on the visible image.

16. The system of claim 10 , wherein:

the adjusting of the fused image according to the regulation parameter includes adjusting a color display of the fused image according to the color scheme.

17. The system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

select a region of interest (ROI) in the fused image; and

magnify the ROI, wherein:

the regulation parameter includes a partial contrast, and

the adjusting of the fused image according to the regulation parameter includes adjusting a contrast level of the ROI.

18. A non-transitory computer readable medium embodying a computer program product, the computer program product comprising instructions configured to cause a processor to perform a method comprising:

obtaining a thermal infrared image and a visible image;

receiving a fusion parameter corresponding to a color space;

generating, based on the fusion parameter, a fused image of the thermal infrared image and the visible image;

receiving a regulation parameter, the regulation parameter including a color scheme, wherein the color scheme is associated with a first temperature, a second temperature, and a direction, wherein the first temperature, the second temperature and the direction correspond to a section of a color circle; and

adjusting the fused image according to the regulation parameter, wherein the color scheme includes a black-and-white decoration, wherein the black-and-white decoration includes: changing a saturation value of a first color corresponding to the first temperature to 0; and changing an intensity value of a second color corresponding to the second temperature to 0.
