Özet

This study proposes a luminance-guided texture edge analysis for quality assessment in visible (RGB) and infrared (IR) image fusion. Existing metrics mostly rely on global evaluation and fail to capture local detail preservation. The proposed method utilizes a luminance map to perform locally weighted gradient-based similarity analysis. In addition, the metric is incorporated as a loss function component and evaluated on SwinFusion and TCDGNet models. Experimental results on LLVIP and RoadScene datasets demonstrate that the proposed approach provides more discriminative evaluation and improves fusion performance.
