There are various methods for edge detection such as sobel operator, log method and canny operator. These methods have disadvantages such as create noise and discontinues edge and image smoothing. With the notice of the daily growth multi spectral images processing and describe of these images have become very important. Because of the existence of many details of these images, necessity to robust algorithms caused to present a method to extract feature of an object. In this article An improve method for edge detection has been purposed. In this method edge is detected by morphology’s operator and their combination and with the use of various structure elements of images in satellite and remote sensing. KEYWORDS Satellite, Image Processing, Edge Detection, Multi spectral 1. INTRODUCTION Edge detection is a very important topic in the processing of multi spectral remote sensing images. Many edge detection techniques are available in the literature. A number of recent edge detectors are multi scale and include three main processing steps: smoothing, differentiation and labeling . Segmentation of images is a related topic, and entails the division or separation of an image in to regions of similar attribute. Because of many uses of satellite’s images in the recent year using of them has developed. Processing satellite images in geology users increase of geography information in number formats for making it understandable for users and extracti
