In this paper, we propose a novel approach to the fusion of spatially registered images and
image sequences. The fusion method incorporates a shift invariant extension of the discrete
wavelet transform, which yields an overcomplete signal representation. The advantage of
the proposed method is the improved temporal stability and consistency of the fused
sequence compared to other existing fusion methods. We further introduce an information
