% Required Input : Source static image sequence in RGB.
%
% Output:
%         (1) Fused    : The fused image.
%         (2) weights  : LE Weights
%         (3) run-time : Computational Complexity in seconds
%         (4) MEF_SSIM : Statistical result of the image according to:
% Perceptual Quality Assessment for Multi-Exposure Image Fusion,

%   Usage:
%      Install the packages by using the "run install" command
%      Select the image stacks folder to be fused.
%      Run the linear_fusion code in order to obtain results.
%      Uninstall the packages by using the "run Uninstall" command
