Abstract	:	The concept of multi-focus image fusion is used to combine multiple images with different objects in focus to obtain all the objects in focus and for better information in a scene. But the challenge is to how evaluate the information of the input images with better quality of image. In order to provide solution of this problem, a new criterion is proposed to give better quality of image using PCA, by de-noising and bilateral gradient based sharpness criterion that is evaluated using the gradient information of the images. Then the proposed method is further exploited to perform weighted aggregation of multi-focus images. The experimental results show that the proposed method is better than the other method in terms of quality matrices like Mutual information, spatial frequency and Average difference.
