description Abstract Traditional inspection cameras determine targets and detect defects by capturing images of their light intensity, but in complex environments, the accuracy of inspection may decrease. Information based on polarization of light can characterize various features of a material, such as the roughness, texture, and refractive index, thus improving classification and recognition of targets. This paper uses a method based on noise template threshold matching to denoise and preprocess polarized images. It also reports on design of an image fusion algorithm, based on NSCT transform, to fuse light intensity images and polarized images. The results show that the fused image improves both subjective and objective evaluation indicators, relative to the source image, and can better preserve edge information and help to improve the accuracy of target recognition. This study provides a reference for the comprehensive application of multi-dimensional optical information in power inspection. Graphical Abstract
