This document compares different methods for fusing multimodal medical images, including PCA, DCT, SWT, and DWT. It provides an overview of each method, including formulations, process flow diagrams, algorithms, and advantages/disadvantages. PCA uses eigenvectors to reveal internal data structure and remove redundancy. DCT expresses image blocks as sums of cosine functions. SWT is a translation-invariant modification of DWT that does not decimate coefficients. DWT decomposes images into coarse and detailed frequency subbands using wavelet transforms. The document reviews each method for fusing medical images from different modalities to extract complementary information.
