Abstract
Deep learning can extract image features automatically and then fuse them under the constraint of loss function by training multi-layer and deep neural networks, which is more intelligent, and has been successfully applied to the field of infrared and visible image fusion. This paper gives an overview of infrared and visible image fusion methods, followed by a detailed analysis of the deep learning based infrared and visible image fusion framework and loss function, and points out the existing problems of infrared and visible image fusion methods and the development prospects.
