Fourier analysis:
Dennis Gabor (1946) adapted the Fourier transform to analyze only a small
section of the signal at a time—a technique called windowing the signal.
Gabor’s adaptation, called the Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT), maps
a signal into a two-dimensional function of time and frequency
Wavelet Analysis:
A wavelet is a waveform of effectively limited duration that has an average
value of zero.
Sinusoids do not have limited duration — they extend from minus to plus
infinity. And where sinusoids are smooth and predictable, wavelets tend to
be irregular and asymmetric.
Wavelet Analysis Representation:
Wavelet analysis allows the use of long time intervals where we want more
precise low-frequency information, and shorter regions where we want
high-frequency information.

The Continuous Wavelet Transform:
which is the sum over all time of the signal f(t) multiplied by a complex
exponential.
What’s continuous about the continuous wavelet transform:

Multiple-Level Decomposition:
Wavelet transform based image fusion involves three steps; forward transform,
coefficient combination and backward transform.
Different wavelets used in the image fusion:
Inputs are
1.multispectral image
2.panchromatic image
