Edge detection algorithm of medical image based on Canny operator

Abstract

Edge detection is an important part of image segmentation, in this paper, the edge detection algorithm based on traditional Canny operator for medical images is studied. The Canny operator is improved using Otsu algorithm and double-gate limit detection method, and the ability of Canny operator edge detection is strengthened. The simulation of the algorithm is realized on the computer platform by MATLAB, and the experimental results are analyzed from two image objective evaluation indexes of information entropy and mean square error. The experimental results show that compared with the traditional Canny algorithm, the improved adaptive double threshold Canny algorithm has better edge detection effect, richer image details, better noise suppression and less false edges.
