Abstract
In order to make the morphological edge detection method have strong anti-noise and accurate edge extraction ability, an improved edge detection method based on composite morphology is proposed. Firstly, two different sets of structural elements are constructed. Then an improved morphology gradient operator is used in edge detection. Finally, the final edge is obtained according to the weights which are determined by the extended spatial frequency. The simulation results show that the method can extract more complete and coherent image edge, and it also has a strong noise-restrain ability.
