Abstract: White light imaging (WLI) is a commonly seen examination mode in endoscopy. The particular light in compound band imaging (CBI) can highlight delicate structures, such as capillaries and tiny structures on the mucosal surface. These two modes complement each other, and doctors switch between them manually to complete the examination. This paper proposes an endoscopy image fusion system to combine WLI and CBI.
