Multispectral Image Fusion and Colorization
(SPIE Press, 2018)
EME 1121
This book provides a complete overview of the state of the art in color image fusion, the associated evaluation methods, and its range of applications. It presents a comprehensive overview of fusion metrics and a comparison of objective metrics and subjective evaluations. Part I addresses the historical background and basic concepts. Part II describes image fusion theory. Part III focuses on quantitative and qualitative evaluation. Part IV presents several fusion applications, including two primary multiscale fusion approaches–the image pyramid and wavelet transform–as they pertain to face matching, biomedical imaging, and night vision.

UBC Okanagan Classroom Artwork Project
The University of British Columbia Okanagan Classroom Artwork Project aims to display academically inspiring artwork in classrooms and other teaching areas of the university.
Artwork displayed as part of this project – including the covers of books and journals containing work written or edited by UBCO scholars and researchers – is intended to help enliven university teaching spaces, educate classroom users about the connections between research and teaching, and introduce members of the broader public to some of the research and scholarship carried out at UBCO.
How to Submit Artwork
If you know of other book or journal covers, or other academically inspiring artwork that is connected to work carried out by UBCO artists, scholars or researchers and that is consistent with UBCO’s educational mission, please email your suggestions to classroom.artwork@ubc.ca.
The UBC Okanagan Classroom Artwork Project began in 2019 with support from the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences. It is now a joint project of UBCO’s Faculties and the Office of the Provost.
Artwork and other images that are a part of this project are displayed solely for educational purposes.
