Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: Due to its robustness and effectiveness, multi-scale fusion (MSF) based on the Laplacian pyramid decomposition has emerged as a popular technique that has shown utility in many applications. Guided by several intuitive measures (ight maps) the MSF process is versatile and straightforward to be implemented. Hover, the number of pyramid levels increases with the image size, which implies sophisticated data management and memory accesses, as ll as additional computations. Here,  introduce a simplified formulation that reduces MSF to only a single level process. Starting from the MSF decomposition,  explain both mathematically and intuitively (visually) a way to simplify the classical MSF approach with minimal loss of information. The resulting single-scale fusion (SSF) solution is a close approximation of the MSF process that eliminates important redundant computations. It also provides insights regarding why MSF is so effective. While our simplified expression is derived in the context of high dynamic range imaging,  show its generality on several ll-known fusion-based applications, such as image compositing, extended depth of field, medical imaging, and blending thermal (infrared) images with visible light. Besides visual validation, quantitative evaluations demonstrate that our SSF strategy is able to yield results that are highly competitive with traditional MSF approaches.
