Multi-focus image fusion plays an important role in the field of image processing for its ability in solving the depth-of-focus limitation problem in optical lens imaging by fusing a series of partially focused images of the same scene. The improvements on various fusion methods focus on the image decomposition methods and the fusion strategies. However, most decompositions are separately conducted on each image, which fails to sufficiently consider the nature of multiple images in fusion tasks, and insufficiently explores the consistent and in...
