Image fusion is a data fusion technology which keeps images as main research contents. It refers to the techniques that integrate multi-images of the same scene from multiple image sensor data or integrate multi images of the same scene at different times from one image sensor.. Wavelet Transform has good time-frequency characteristics. It was applied successfully in image processing field. Nevertheless, its excellent characteristic in one-dimension can’t be extended to two dimensions or multi-dimension simply. Separable wavelet which was spanning by one-dimensional wavelet has limited directivity. The experiments show that the method could extract useful information from source images to fused images so that clear images are obtained. The selection principles about low and high frequency coefficients according to different frequency domain after wavelet. In choosing the low-frequency coefficients, the concept of local area variance was chosen to measuring criteria. In choosing the high frequency coefficients, the window property and local characteristics of pixels were analyzed.
