Abstract


The multimodal image fusion is the process of combining relevant information from multiple imaging modalities. A fused image which contains recovering description than the one provided by any image fusion techniques are most widely used for real-world applications like agriculture, robotics and informatics, aeronautical, military, medical, pedestrian detection, etc. We try to give an outline of multimodal medical image fusion methods, developed during the period of time. The fusion of medical images in many combinations assists in utilizing it for medical diagnostics and examination. There is an incredible progress within the fields of deep learning, AI and bio-inspired optimization techniques. Effective utilization of these techniques is often used to further improve the effectiveness of image fusion algorithms
