Multisensor image fusion has its effective utilization for surveillance. In this paper, we utilize a pulse coupled neural network method to merge images from different sensors, in order to enhance visualization for surveillance. On the basis of standard mathematical model of pulse coupled neural network, a novel step function is adopted to generate pulses. Subjective and objective image fusion performance measures are introduced to assess the performance of image fusion schemes. Experimental results show that the image fusion method using pulse coupled neural network is effective to merge images from different sensors.
