Abstract

Multi-focus image fusion is a crucial aspect of image processing, aimed at enhancing the overall visual quality and information content of images captured at different focal planes. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of various techniques and methodologies employed in the domain of multi-focus image fusion. The paper begins by explaining the fundamental concepts and challenges associated with image fusion. It then proceeds to categorize existing methodologies of image fusion. Then it explains about multi focus image fusion and with their types and recent proposed techniques developed by researchers. Furthermore, the survey evaluates the strengths and limitations of each technique, providing insights into their applicability under varying conditions. This survey serves as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and enthusiasts interested in the advancements and trends in multi-focus image fusion. By synthesizing and organizing the vast array of techniques available, the paper aims to facilitate a deeper understanding of the subject and inspire further innovation in the pursuit of optimal solutions for multi-focus image fusion challenges.
