Focusing on the issue that edges extracted by state-of-the-art exist some deficiencies including non-continuity, incompleteness, incline, jitter and notches etc., an edge extraction method based on graph theory was proposed, which considered the image as an undirected graph by regarding each pixel as a node and connecting two adjacent nodes in horizontal or vertical direction to constitute a side. The proposed method included three phases:in pixels similarity calculation phase, the weights were given to sides in undirected graph, which represented pixels similarity; in threshold determination phase, the mean of all the weights (the similarity of the whole image) was determined as a threshold; in edge determination phase, when weights on horizontal or vertical sides were smaller than the threshold, the left nodes of horizontal side and the upper nodes of vertical side were retained to constitute edges of the image. The experimental results show that the proposed edge extraction method based on graph theory is suitable for the images with obvious target and background, and can overcome deficiencies including non-continuity, incompleteness, incline, jitter and notches etc., and has anti-noise ability to Speckle noise and Gaussian noise.
