Abstract
Using wavelet transform to extract backscatter ionogram leading edges.In this thesis,we briefly introduce the principle of edge
detection based wavelet transform and the standard choice of wavelet basis using edge detection.First put forward the normalized
method to deal with the threshold determine using extracting backscatter ionogram leading. The algorithm of edge detection based
wavelet transform can effectively deal with noisy images and achieve the extraction of Backscatter ionogram Leading edges.
