Multiscale transform (MST) and sparse representation (SR) have been widely used in multifocus image fusion. However, the contrast of the fused image is lost after multiscale reconstruction, and fine details tend to be smoothed for SR-based fusion. In this paper, we propose a fusion method based on MST and convolutional sparse representation (CSR) to address the inherent defects of both the MST- and SR-based fusion methods. MST is first performed on each source image to obtain the low-frequency components and detailed directional components. Then, CSR is applied in the low-pass fusion, while the high-pass bands are fused using the popular \u201cmax-absolute\u201d rule as the activity level measurement. The fused image is finally obtained by performing inverse MST on the fused coefficients. The experimental results on multifocus images show that the proposed algorithm exhibits state-of-the-art performance in terms of definition. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0219691320500617","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,10]],"date-time":"2020-09-10T07:12:13Z","timestamp":1599721933000},"page":"2050061","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Multifocus image fusion using multiscale transform and convolutional sparse representation"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Chengfang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Key Laboratory of Fundamental Science on Synthetic Vision, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, P.
