For a MP constructed with an open-close filter, we can describe
the image I L by
Il= [(Il-i • S) ° S]
(10)
where L is the pyramid level, S is the structuring element, and
[• ]is a subsampling.
Replacing the Laplacian pyramids with the morphological
pyramids, the MP fusion scheme is shown in figure 2. 3

3. EXPERIMENTAL STUDY AND ANALYSIS
As mentioned above, the two pyramid techniques of image
fusion are used to fuse multi-focus images. An image focusing
on the left (Figure 3a) and the other image focusing on the right
(Figure 3b) are two co-registered. The fused images obtained by
t e two pyramid techniques are shown in Figure 3c and Figure
• To compare the two pyramid techniques, the fused images
are evaluated in visual examination and quantitative analysis.
