Multimodal fusion detection always places high demands on the imaging system and image pre-processing, while either a high-quality pre-registration system or image registration processing is costly. Unfortunately, the existing fusion methods are designed for registered source images, and the fusion of inhomogeneous features, which denotes a pair of features at the same spatial location that expresses different semantic information, cannot achieve satisfactory performance via these methods. As a result, we propose IA-VFDnet, a CNN-Transformer hybrid learning framework with a unified high-quality multimodal feature matching module (AKM) and a fusion module (WDAF), in which AKM and DWDAF work in synergy to perform high-quality infrared-aware visible fusion detection, which can be applied to smoke and wildfire detection. Furthermore, experiments on the M3FD dataset validate the superiority of the proposed method, with IA-VFDnet achieving the best detection performance than other state-of-the-art methods under conventional registered conditions. In addition, the first unregistered multimodal smoke and wildfire detection benchmark is openly available in this letter.

Multi-focus image fusion (MFIF) and super-resolution (SR) are the inverse problem of imaging model, purposes of MFIF and SR are obtaining all-in-focus and high-resolution 2D mapping of targets. Though various MFIF and SR methods have been designed; almost all the them deal with MFIF and SR separately. This paper unifies MFIF and SR problems in the physical perspective as the multi-focus image super resolution fusion (MFISRF), and we propose a novel unified dataset-free unsupervised framework named deep fusion prior (DFP) based-on deep image prior (DIP) to address such MFISRF with single model. Experiments have proved that our proposed DFP approaches or even outperforms those state-of-art MFIF and SR method combinations. To our best knowledge, our proposed work is a dataset-free unsupervised method to simultaneously implement the multi-focus fusion and super-resolution task for the first time. Additionally, DFP is a general framework, thus its networks and focus measurement tactics can be continuously updated to further improve the MFISRF performance. DFP codes are open source available at http://github.com/GuYuanjie/DeepFusionPrior.
