1. Multispectral image fusion for improved RGB representation based on perceptual attributes. It is actually, a pixel-level fusion technique for RGB representation of multispectral images resulting in highly correlated RGB components, a fact which occurs in natural colour images and is strictly related to the colour perception attributes of the human eye. Accordingly, specific properties for the covariance matrix of the final RGB image are demanded. Mutual information is employed as an objective criterion for quality refinement. The method provides dimensionality reduction, while the resulting RGB colour image is perceptually of high quality.
