ABSTRACT:
An image fusion processing method, image fusion processing program, and image fusion processing device for fusing a plurality of images of three or more dimensions obtained from a single watched object without degenerating the amount of information. A CPU calculates an optical parameter corresponding to a first voxel value and an optical parameter corresponding to a second voxel value. Then, the CPU calculates synthesized optical parameters based on a synthesis ratio obtained through a synthesis ratio determining process performed at each current position and updates the residual light and reflected light using these optical parameters. When the current position is an end point, a CPU sets the reflected light as a pixel value, and the fusion image data generating process ends for the single pixel configuring a frame.
