The ultimate goal of fused image quality evaluation is to find out the consistence between subjective and objective measures, which can be obtained only by large amount of test images. The aim of this paper is to develop a quantitative measure that will consistently be used as a substitute. February - April 2008 Copyright © 2008 i-manager publications.
