The paper published in the Journal of Visual Communication and Image Representation: A fuzzy convolutional neural network for enhancing multi-focus image fusion, Journal of Visual Communication and Image Representation, Volume 84, April 2022, 103485 has been selected as the Best Paper for 2023.

This research work introduces a hybrid fuzzy convolutional neural network (FCNN) based MFIF method, integrating FS with CNN for automatic features extraction and uncertainty removal in images. The proposed method generates data-driven decision maps using Siamese feature extraction module, achieving superior results over six benchmark methods in multi-focus image datasets with both qualitative and quantitative analysis.
