New metric ranks image fusion based on human preferences

Researchers have developed a new metric called the Learned Perceptual Image Fusion Measure (LPIFM) to objectively rank infrared-visible image fusion algorithms. Traditional metrics often fail to align with human preferences for fused image quality. LPIFM addresses this by acting as a surrogate for direct human pairwise comparisons, which are too costly to perform at scale. The model is trained on a new dataset of human preferences and can predict which of two fused images a human would prefer, offering a more reliable and scalable method for assessing fusion algorithm performance.

    Ranking Image Fusion the Way Humans Do: A Learned Pairwise Preference Metric for Infrared-Visible Fusion Assessment

    arXiv:2608.01301v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Infrared-visible image fusion (IVIF) has no ideal fused reference, so fusion algorithms are routinely ranked by scalar objective metrics that formalize different proxies for information transfer, structure, or source similarity. The…
