Description
Summary:In this paper, an analysis of the method that uses a fractional order calculus to multispectral images fusion is presented. We analyze some correct basic definitions of the fractional order derivatives that are used in the image processing context. Several methods of determining fractional derivatives of digital images are tested, and the influence of fractional order change on the quality of fusion is presented. Results achieved are compared with the results obtained for methods where the integer order derivatives were used.
