Visual/IR Color Image Fusion Based on Rattlesnake Bimodal Cell Neurodynamics: Advances and Prospects

Breaking point in the field of image fusion is placed on the application of neurodynamics of vision models, esp.on research work about the characteristics of the bimodal cells of rattlesnakes, since observers (animal or human) are always the last stage of the vision information processing chain. Fusion of images familiar to the color vision perception is likely covered. A fusion system has been built up adopting the ON-center OFF-surround and OFF-center ON-surround opponent property structure thoughout the entire vision processing. The advances and prospects of the visual/IR color image fusion based on the rattlesnake bimodal cell neurodynamics are given and some research work about this field are described.
