Introduction
Image fusion is the process of combining relevant information in two or more images of a scene into a single
highly informative image. Depending on what is considered relevant information, the images can be combined
differently. Image Registration and Fusion Systems has developed a software system for fusing multi-exposure
images.
It is rather impossible to obtain a single image of a 3-D scene where all scene parts appear well-exposed.
Details in under-exposed and over-exposed image areas are not visible. Each local area in the scene may
require a different shutter speed to capture the details. This software combines a set of multi-exposure images
of a scene obtained by a camera into a single image where all image areas appear well exposed. An example is
given in Fig. 1.

This image fusion software reads in a set of images and combines them into a single highly informative image.
The relevant information used to combine the images is entropy. The software can read image in various
formats and save the fused image in various formats, including jpg, gif, png, ppm, and pgm.
