1. A method for performing image fusion for image processing, comprising:
receiving a first input image (I); generating, using a computer processor, N secondary outputs (In, n=1, 2, . . . N−1, N) using N combinations of secondary image processes and/or parameter sets derived from the first input image (I); and fusing the intermediate outputs to yield a processed output (I′) including decomposing the first input image into different grayscale representations, separately processing the different grayscale representation to provide outputs, and fusing the outputs to yield the processed output (I′).
