Dynamic Contrast Dual-Branch Feature Decomposition Network for Infrared-Visible Image Fusion
The aim of infrared and visible image fusion is to merge information from both types of images to enhance scene understanding. However, the large differences between the two types make it difficult to preserve important features during fusion. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a dynamic contrast dual-branch feature decomposition network (DCFN) for image fusion. The network adds a dynamic weight contrast loss (DWCL) module to the base encoder to improve alignment accuracy by adjusting sample weights and reducing noise. The base encoder, based on the Restormer network, captures global structural information, while the detail encoder, using an invertible neural network (INN), extracts finer texture details. By combining DWCL, DCFN improves the alignment of visible and infrared image features, enhancing the fused image quality. Experimental results show that this method outperforms existing approaches, significantly improving both visual quality and fusion performance.
