We present a multi-sensor decision level image fusion algorithm based on fuzzy theory. The main interest of this method is its high speed classification and efficient fusion of complementary information. FCM classifiers are used for classification of each sensor image, and the classification results are fused by our fusion rule. The originality of this work is to define the fusion rule for multi-sensor image classification. Applications to SAR, infrared and multi-spectral image fusion produce interesting results.
