Image Fusion Final Year Projects (MATLAB & Python)
Image fusion combines complementary information from multiple source images into a single more informative image. It is a core topic in digital image processing and remote sensing — multi-focus photography, multi-modal medical imaging (CT+MRI, PET+MRI), infrared-visible surveillance, and satellite pansharpening.
We offer best IEEE-aligned topics with implementations in MATLAB (Image Processing Toolbox, Wavelet Toolbox) and Python (OpenCV, PyTorch, TensorFlow). Classical methods (DWT, Laplacian pyramid, PCA, NSCT) and deep learning (CNN, GAN, Transformer fusion) are both supported with quality metrics (MI, Qab/f, SF, SSIM) and full documentation.
