DMDN: Degradation model-based deep network for multi-focus image fusion

作者:

Highlights:

• The degradation model of multi-focus image fusion (MFIF) guides the construction of the network.

• The end-to-end network directly fuses the defocused images into an all-in-focus image.

• Random concatenate input order during training improves the generalization ability of the network.

• We publish an MFIF dataset containing 70 pairs of high-resolution multi-focus images.

• We report state-of-the-art fusion performance on three MFIF datasets.
