Abstract. In order to solve the problem that the spatial matching is difficult and the spectral distortion is large in traditional pixel-level image fusion algorithm. We propose a new method of image fusion that utilizes HIS transformation and the recently developed theory of compressive sensing that is called HIS-CS image fusion. In this algorithm, the particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to select the fusion coefficient ω. In the iterative process, the image fusion coefficient ω is taken as particle, and the optimal value is obtained by combining the optimal objective function. Then we use the compression-aware weighted fusion algorithm for remote sensing image fusion, taking the coefficient ω as the weight value. The algorithm ensures the optimal selection of fusion effect with a certain degree of self-adaptability. To evaluate the fused images, this paper uses five kinds of index parameters such as Entropy, Standard Deviation, Average Gradient, Degree of Distortion and Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio. The experimental results show that the image fusion effect of the algorithm in this paper is better than that of traditional methods.
