Abstract
The traditional Canny edge detection algorithm is sensitive to noise, therefore, it's easy to lose weak edge information when filtering out the noise, and its fixed parameters show poor adaptability. In response to these problems, this paper proposed an improved algorithm based on Canny algorithm. This algorithm introduced the concept of gravitational field intensity to replace image gradient, and obtained the gravitational field intensity operator. Two adaptive threshold selection methods based on the mean of image gradient magnitude and standard deviation were put forward for two kinds of typical images (one has less edge information, and the other has rich edge information) respectively. The improved Canny algorithm is simple and easy to realize. Experimental results show that the algorithm can preserve more useful edge information and more robust to noise.
