New Spiking Neural Network Enhances Image Fusion with Energy Efficiency

Researchers have developed a novel Current Injection Spiking (CIS) operator for Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) to improve infrared and visible image fusion (IVIF). This new approach integrates information from both modalities at the membrane potential level before spike firing, allowing for more comprehensive fusion compared to traditional SNNs. The CIS-Fuse network, built upon this operator, demonstrates competitive fusion quality with state-of-the-art artificial neural network (ANN) methods while offering significantly lower inference energy consumption.
