Multi-sensor fusion and enhancement using the Retinex image enhancement
algorithm

Abstract
A new approach to sensor fusion and enhancement is presented. The
retinex image enhancement algorithm is used to jointly enhance and fuse
data from long wave infrared, short wave infrared and visible wavelength
sensors. This joint optimization results in fused data which contains
more information than any of the individual data streams. This is
especially true in turbid weather conditions, where the long
wave infrared sensor would conventionally be the only source of usable
information. However, the retinex algorithm can be used to pull out the
details from the other data streams as well, resulting in greater
overall information. The fusion uses the multiscale nature of the
algorithm to both enhance and weight the contributions of the different
data streams forming a single output data stream.
