Changzhou Key Laboratory of Sensor Networks and Environmental Sensing, Changzhou 213022, Jiangsu Province, China Abstract: To deal with strong speckle noise of side-scan sonar images, an edge detection method based on improved Canny operator is proposed. According to a multiplicative model and the Rayleigh distribution of speckle noise, sonar image de-speckling is performed locally and adaptively in the contourlet transform domain without sub-sampling. This effectively suppresses speckles and better protects edges without blurring due to Gaussian smoothing. Gradients of the de-speckled sonar image are computed. The maximal magnitudes of the gradients are obtained by non-maximum suppression. The maximal points are classified into three types: strong edge points, weak edge points and non-edge points. Two thresholds are automatically determined based on the maxima of inter-class variance. A binary edge map is obtained with the two thresholds followed by weak edge lin
