DDCFusion: enhancing visible–infrared image fusion via dual-domain collaborative learning
摘要
The integration of multimodal image data, particularly through visible and infrared image fusion, plays a crucial role in enhancing scene understanding for various applications. Traditional fusion methods predominantly rely on spatial domain features, often neglecting the frequency domain, which results in the loss of high-frequency details and textures. To address these limitations, we propose DDCFusion, a novel network which combines dual-domain feature learning through Laplacian pyramid encoding and wavelet transform convolution. The bimodal feature module (BIFM) enables efficient dual-domain feature extraction, while the dual-domain collaborative attention mechanism (DDAM) dynamically balances feature saliency across domains, ensuring optimal fusion quality. Experiments demonstrate that DDCFusion achieves superior performance in fusion quality metrics, with improvements of 11.5% in MI and 7.9% in
