SYSTEM FOR MORPHOLOGICAL IMAGE FUSION AND CHANGE DETECTION

A system capable of efficiently fusing image information from multiple sensors operating in different formats into a single composite image and simultaneously display all of the pertinent information of the original images as a single image. The disclosed invention accomplishes this by receiving image information from multiple sensors; identifying small structure or object information in each image by setting a predefined object/background threshold; separating the object or small structure from the background or large structure in each image; blending the object information from each image into a single composite object image; blending the background information from each image into a single composite background image; combining the composite object image with the composite background image to produce a composite image containing all of the pertinent information of each of the original images, and displaying a single composite image containing all of the pertinent information contained in each of the original images.
