Infrared and Visible Ship Image Fusion Based on Adaptive Cross-Modal Feature Interaction and Multiscale Frequency-Domain Transformation (opens in new tab)

Infrared and visible image fusion serves as a pivotal technique for all-weather ship surveillance in maritime security applications, which can compensate for the inherent deficiencies of single-modal imaging under low-illumination and complex sea-state conditions. Nevertheless, existing fusion algorithms confront three core bottlenecks in coastal ship scenarios: first, insufficient robust feature representation capability against complex sea–sky backgrounds and multiscale ship targets; second...
