Abstract

A novel algorithm of adaptive multi-objective particle swarm optimization (AMOPSO-II) is proposed and used to search the optimal color image fusion parameters, which can achieve the optimal fusion indices. First the algorithm of AMOPSO-II is designed; then the model of color image fusion in YUV color space is established, and the proper evaluation indices are given; and finally AMOPSO-II is used to search the optimal fusion parameters. AMOPSO-II uses a new crowding operator to improve the distribution of nondominated solutions along the Pareto front, and uses the uniform design to obtain the optimal combination of the parameters of AMOPSO-II. Experimental results indicate that AMOPSO-II has better exploratory capabilities than MOPSO and AMOPSO-I, and that the approach to color image fusion based on AMOPSO-II realizes the Pareto optimal color image fusion.
