Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Medical image edge detection is an important technology of medical image process, which is also the foundation of the deeper medical image process.
OBJECTIVE: To use improved SUSAN algorithm to detect the medical image edge, so that richer medical image edge will be get and which is benefit for the deeper process of medical images.
METHODS: Sobel operator was used to improve the SUSAN algorithm and the C++ programming language was adopted. The improved algorithm was realized based on the VC++6.0 development platform.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Experimental results showed that our algorithm could realize the threshold adaptive selection and had a better detection result in low contrast image edge of medical images.
