Abstract

In the ever-evolving field of image fusion, the integration of deep learning techniques has led to remarkable advancements in the quality and applicability of fused images. This review work provides a comprehensive overview of state of art deep learning based image fusion techniques. We delve into the fundamental concepts, methodologies and challenges that have emerged in this domain.  This work covers various aspects of deep learning-based image fusion, including multi-modal, multi-scale fusion, and cross modality fusion. This work offers insights into the practical applications of deep learning based image fusion across various domains. We highlight the potential benefits and limitations in this dynamic field.
