An edge detection method of noisy micro image was p where threshold was performed via statistical principles. The region whose change rate of intensity is maximum was extracted by applying statistical functions. Then an edge pixel was detected from the extracted region with the non-maxima suppression algorithm. The gradient strength at each pixel was standardized locally before threshold was selected so as to eliminate the ambiguity and inappropriateness in choosing global threshold values. However, the values of the input parameters providing the appreciable results in the proposed detector were found to be more stable than other edge detectors and possess statistical interpretation, which can efficiently handle random noise present in an image. The results of the proposed algorithm were compared with those of many well-known edge detectors. The results suggest it can produce reliable, robust, and smooth edges.
