Abstract

Conventional Canny edge detector can detect edges in image with additive noise effectively but not ultrasound image that are corrupted by multiplicative speckle noise which alleviates image resolution resulting in inaccurate characterization of object features. In this paper, we proposed to incorporate the modified SRAD into the Canny edge detector to replace the Gaussian blurring in the conventional Canny edge detector in order to suppress the multiplicative noise effectively while preserving the edge of the object in ultrasound image. The result shows that the proposed method can provide better result than conventional method in a much wider range of parameter values. The proposed method through experimental result indicates that it is capable of producing promising edge detection result in ultrasound image.
