Abstract

Enhanced Vision System (EVS) is one of the most advanced technologies that provide good situational awareness to the pilot, which is essential to fly safely under poor visibility conditions. EVS uses Electro-Optical (EO) and Infra-Red (IR) imaging sensors. Individual images obtained from these sensors provide different information of the terrain and surroundings, but when they are fused, it gives better information which improves the visual perception. Fusion of images obtained from such multi-sensors can be achieved using different techniques. For fusing the EO and IR images of EVS, four fusion methods viz. , Alpha Blending, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Laplacian Pyramid, and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) have been implemented and tested. Laplacian pyramid based image fusion technique proved to provide better fusion when compared to the other techniques.
