Toosi University of Technology, Tehran, IranHassan EmamiUniversity of Tabriz, Tabriz, Iran0000-0002-0171-6487Journal Article20181226IHS method for image fusion is one of the conventional methods with a simple theory. Implementation of this<br />method is simple and effective from computational point of view. But this method causes the spectral content of<br />the fused image to get disturbed in comparison with the spectral criteria of the main multispectral image. In this<br />article a statistical image fusion method is combined with the conventional IHS method to improve its spectral<br />quality and overcome its deficiency. Some spectral indices were used for evaluation of this combined method and<br />compared with the conventional IHS and the used statistical fusion methods. This combined method improves the<br />spectral quality of the fused image and eliminates the existing shortcomings of the spectral disturbing in fused<br />image produced by IHS method.IHS method for image fusion is one of the conventional methods with a simple theory.

In this paper, first, by using a simple mathematical inequality, we find an upper bound for FH input-scaled output mutual information and then maximize the obtained upper bound to reach to a third order equation for the optimum β as β<sup>*</sup>. Our equation (i) determines β<sup>*</sup> exactly in contrary to the FH work where β<sup>*</sup> is found numerically through an exhaustive search and also, (ii) is consistent with the estimated equation for β<sup>*</sup> in the FH work. Our upper bound is shown to be tighter than the proposed upper bound in the FH work that is found through sphere packing argument at very high SNRs.
