Comparative study of Image Fusion Methods: A Review

As the size and cost of sensors decrease, sensor networks are increasingly becoming an attractive method to collect information in a given area. However, one single sensor is not capable of providing all the required information,either because of their design or because of observational constraints. One possible solution to get all the required information about a particular scene or subject is data fusion.. A small number of metrics proposed so far provide only a rough, numerical estimate of fusion performance with limited understanding of the relative merits of different fusion schemes. This paper proposes a method for comprehensive, objective, image fusion performance characterization using a fusion evaluation framework based on gradient information representation. We give the framework of the overallnbsp system and explain its USAge method. The system has many functions: image denoising, image enhancement, image registration, image segmentation, image fusion, and fusion evaluation. This paper presents a literature review on some of the image fusion techniques for image fusion like, Laplace transform, Discrete Wavelet transform based fusion, Principal component analysis (PCA) based fusion etc. Comparison of all the techniques can be the better approach fornbsp future research

Precision measurement of the structure of the CMS inner tracking system using nuclear interactions

The structure of the CMS inner tracking system has been studied using nuclear interactions of hadrons striking its material. Data from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded in 2015 at the LHC are used to reconstruct millions of secondary vertices from these nuclear interactions. Precise positions of the beam pipe and the inner tracking system elements, such as the pixel detector support tube, and barrel pixel detector inner shield and support rails, are determined using these vertices. These measurements are important for detector simulations, detector upgrades, and to identify any changes in the positions of inactive elements
