A new edge detection algorithm for image corrupted by White-Gaussian noise

Because corruption of image by White-Gaussian noise is a frequently encountered problem in acquisition, transmission and processing of image, and classical edge detection operators such as Roberts, Sobel, Prewitt and LOG operator have the deficiency of being sensitive to White-Gaussian noise, this paper proposes a new edge detection algorithm for Image corrupted by White-Gaussian noise that can reasonably consider White-Gaussian noise reduction and correct location of edge, and provides its specific arithmetic process. Finally, the comparison based on principle of new edge detection algorithm and classical edge detection operator is done, the experimental results indicate that the performance of new edge detection algorithm is better than that of classical edge detection operator.
