Abstract

In this paper we introduce a noise-resilient edge detection algorithm for brain MRI images. Also, an improved edge detection based on Canny edge detection algorithm is proposed. Computer simulations show that the proposed algorithm is resilient to impulsive noise which makes up for the disadvantages of Canny algorithm, and can detect more edges of MRI brain images effectively. Also, the concept of images fusion is utilized for effective edge detection.
