This paper presents a image fusion technique based on PCA and fuzzy logic. the framework of the proposed image fusion technique is divided in the following major phases:  preprocesing phase  Feature extraction based on the principal component analysis  The image fusion based on fuzzy set  Reconstruction final image The figure (1) shows the framework of the proposed image fusion and its phases. Fig. 1. The proposed approach of image fusion phases A. Preprocessing Phase This phase consists of three steps registration , resampling and histogram matching .In the following 1) Registration:Image fusion is the approach of combining two or more images of same scene to obtain the more informative image. The image data is recorded by sensors on satellites; it may be contained errors in geometry which may be caused by the rotation of the earth during image collection. So the images must be registered. The registration is the preprocessing step in the fusion framework. Registration is the overlaying two images or more of the same scene taken at different times or by different sensors . The registration is a crucial step in many image analysis tasks like image fusion, change detection, ect. In this paper; the ground control point technique is used to register the MS images to the Pan image as reference image. The ground control points method is described as the points on the earth of known location used as georeference for the scene image. All MS images in this paper are registered and The Pan image is used as reference image; see figure 2. (a) The MS image before reg-isteration. (b) The MS image after regis-teration . Fig. 2. The impact of Registration on satellite images 2) Resampling: The resampling is crtical step in prepro-cessing the... ... middle of paper ... ...CA is used to calculate the first component analysis to redundant the information and focus on pc 1 which has the common spatial information in the multispectral images. While the spectral information that is specific for each multispectral image lies on the others PCs. the multispectral images are used as the input data for PCA to obtain the pc 1 which is used as input to fuzzy set.The algorithm (1) shows the main steps of the principal components analysis. Algorithm 1: The principal components analysis algorithm 1: Input: the MS images (3 bands) in the matrix form. %Perform PCA using covariance. 2: data - MxN matrix of input data 3: Reshape 3 bands into 1*(m*n) 4: Subtract the mean 5: Calculate covariance matrix 6: Get eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrix covariance 7: Fetch the first principal component( PC 1 ) 8: Output: principal component(PC1, PC 2 and PC 3 )
