  • In this paper we propose a novel pyramid decomposition based Image fusion metric, Gamma Factor or Goodness of Fit ‘ᴦ’ which describes the statistically amount of information fused by the image fusion algorithm. We first apply steerable pyramid decomposition and then a fitting model for Univariate Generalised Gaussian Distribution (UGGD) parameter estimation. From the UGGD; P and S fitting model coefficients are computed. To estimate the optimum weights for computation a huge data set of complimentary images are used. Using these weights, amount of information contributed by each image to form a fused image can be estimated. Experimental results show the tremendous matching with the quantise information
