英文摘要：

A novel image fusion method based on edge detection is proposed. The method makes use of logical value of edge detection based on Canny operator and in combination with wavelet transform algorithm. In wavelet domain, the region fusion method is applied to fuse source images in low-frequency and high- frequency sub-images. Finally, the fused image is reconstructed by inverse wavelet transform. According to subjective evaluation and objective criteria, such as entropy, root mean square error （RMSE）, peak-to-peak signal-to-noise ratio （PSNR）, mutual information （MI）, the proposed strategy is very effective and universal to some extent, especially for the source image which has de-focus in different parts, through extensive experiments.
