Image fusion
– a technique that integrates complementary information
from multiple image sensor data such that the new image are more
suitable for processing tasks.
An image pyramid can be described as collection of low- or band-pass
copies of an original image in which both the band limit and sample
density are reduced in regular steps.
The basic strategy of image fusion based on pyramids is to use a feature
selection rule to construct a fused pyramid representation from the
pyramid representations of the original data. The composite image is
obtained by taking an inverse pyramid transform.

Implementation
Since image is 2-D signal, we will mainly focus on the 2-D wavelet
transforms.
After one level of decomposition, there will be four frequency bands,
namely Low-Low (LL), Low-High (LH), High-Low (HL) and High-
High (HH).
