This paper presents Fast Adaptive Bilateral Filter (FABF) for fusion of Multi Focuses images. Multi Focused image fusion is used to combine one or more input image into single composite image, focusing all objects in the given scene. FABF filter sharpens the image without producing under and over shoot by increasing the edge slope. This paper uses this property to decompose the input image into high and low frequency images so that different fusion rules can be used for high and low frequency images to produce good quality composite image. The performance this FABF filter in Multi focused image fusion is compared with Adaptive Bilateral Filter (ABF) using Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Spatial Frequency (SF) and Mutual Information (MI).
