In recent years, with the rapid development of image processing research, the study of nonstandard images has gradually become a research hotspot, for example, fabric images, remote sensing images, and gear images. Some of the remote sensing images have a complex background and low illumination compared with standard images and are easy to be mixed with noise during acquisition; some of the fabric images have rich texture information, which adds difficulty to the related processing, and are also easy to be mixed with noise during acquisition. In this paper, we propose a fractional-order adaptive P -Laplace equation image edge detection algorithm for the problem of image edge detection in which the edge and texture information of the image is lost. The algorithm can apply for the order adaptively to filter the noise according to the noise distribution of the image, and the adaptive diffusion factor is determined by both the fractional-order curvature and fractional-order gradient of the iso-illumination line and combined with the iterative approach to realize the fine-tuning of the noisy image. The experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm can remove the noise while preserving the texture and details of the image. A fractional-order partial differential equation image edge detection model with a fractional-order fidelity term is proposed for Gaussian noise. The model incorporates a fractional-order fidelity term because this fidelity term smoothes out the rougher parts of the image while preserving the texture in the original image in greater detail and eliminating the step effect produced by other models such as the Perona-Malik (PM) and Rudin-Osher-Fatemi (ROF) models. By comparing with other algorithms, the image edge detection effect is measured with the help of evaluation metrics such as peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity, and the optimal value is selected iteratively so that the image with the best edge detection result is retained. A convolutional mask image edge detection model based on adaptive fractional-order calculus is proposed for the scattered noise in medical images. The adaption is mainly reflected in the model algorithm by constructing an exponential parameter relation that is closely related to the image, which can dynamically adjust the parameter values, thus making the model algorithm more practical. The model achieves the scattering noise removal in four steps.
