Abstract: In order to solve the problem that defects of different scales have different terahertz imaging characteristics in fiber reinforced composites, the fusion processing method of two terahertz images with complementary defect information was studied. To reduce the Gibbs phenomenon, Non-subsampled Shearlet Transform (NSST) with the property of shift- invariance was used to decompose source images and get their low-frequency subband and high frequency subband coefficients. Regional variance was used as connection strength factor of the Pulse Coupled Neural Network (PCNN) in the low frequency coefficient fusion, which is more according with human visual characteristics. In the fusion of high frequency coefficients, the Regional Gradient Energy of Direction Information Measure (RGEDIM) was introduced to extract the edge, texture and other details of the image and integrated them into the final image, the impact of noise on image fusion was reduced better. Finally, the fusion image was obtained through NSST inverse transform. The experimental results show that this method is superior to wavelet, Non-subsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT) and traditional PCNN method, the fusion image has more mutual information and contains more original image information, all the defects of the source image can be clearly seen on the fusion image.
