Such an approach allows a night scene to appear as if it were daytime for automotive applications thereby increasing safety. We described a new metric to evaluate the fusion of such an augmented reality system and compared leading fusion algorithms to determine the efficacy of our approach.}, journal = {American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
