Mixing / Combining 2 Images (Image Fusion)

This program fuses/combines/mixes 2 images It supports both Gray & Color Images

Description

This program fuses/combines/mixes 2 images
It supports both Gray & Color Images
In the program, Alpha Factor can be varied to vary the proportion of mixing of each image.
With Alpha Factor = 0.5, the two images are mixed equally.
With Alpha Facotr < 0.5, the contribution of background image will be more.
With Alpha Facotr > 0.5, the contribution of foreground image will be more.

• Required Products: Image Processing Toolbox
• MATLAB release: MATLAB 6.5 (R13)

how can this earn 5 stars(?)...
a script that clears the workspace without asking, no help, no explanation, no comment, no choice of input...

Beyond what us mentions, this only does a trivial linear combination of the two images. The images that it works on are fixed, hard coded file names. This is a terrible interface.

No help. No error checks. Christopher is a bit infatuated with this author.

Is it written somewhere that the FE is only for polished, fully operational, generalizable, help-laden functions ? If it is (is it ?), I would find that unnecessarily limiting. If I am not sure how to do something, and an explicit example such as this shows me how, then I am better off than I would be without such a submission. So I am appreciative and likely to rate accordingly. The fact that real example data is provided - even if hard-coded - is a plus in my mind.
If there is a better way of doing this operation, then let's hear it.

Just to condemn the 1-star gang at matlab, I downloaded and looked through the files. I give a 5star to this. Fantastic brilliant work, mate, keep it up.

Dear us, Joh D'Errico
1. Main.m file is to help the new matlab programmers for the
    usage of the FuseImages.m, You dont worry about clearing the
   work space. If you feel so, use only the FuseImages.m
2. In what way the comment is missing. Please let me know. So
    that I can update the file version.
3. Getting choice of input is a simple thing with uigetfile.

Please let me know your valuable comments. So as to make the code fulfil all the levels of matlab programmers' requirements.

[Matteo Niccoli]

Have to agree with Tim. I'd give it a 4 if the author called the submission a demo.

[Sean de]

Main.m is a malware driver script but fuseimages.m itself does exactly what it claims to.

[suraj raj]

can you explain fusion by PRI(Probabilistic Rand Index)

[Syahrul Niezam]

Thank you for sharing the codes.
I would like to ask, is it possible to apply fusion into converted image in program.
