To avoid image distortion, wavelets with symmetry are used for image decomposition to obtain the wavelet coefficients of each sub-band. Due to the influence of noise, it is particularly important to obtain the wavelet coefficients, which can accurately reflect the image information. According to the characteristics of wavelet threshold shrinkage and the advantages of the high-order variational method in denoising, a wavelet coefficient restoration scheme is proposed. The theoretical basis of our proposed method is established through the analysis of wavelet threshold theory. To keep the original structure of wavelet coefficients unchanged, we introduce the concept of state quantity of wavelet coefficients and obtain the corresponding state quantity of wavelet coefficients using normalization. The denoising wavelet coefficient is obtained by performing a fourth-order anisotropic diffusion of the state quantities. This paper takes image edge feature extraction as the experimental content and image edges are detected by the module of the wavelet coefficients. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is objectively verified from three aspects: denoising effect, edge continuity, and accuracy. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can obtain continuous and precise image edges. The algorithm presented in this paper also applies to texture images. Compared with other algorithms, the edges image obtained by this scheme shows advantages in terms of noise removal and edge protection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym15040803","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,27]],"date-time":"2023-03-27T04:31:21Z","timestamp":1679891481000},"page":"803","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["State-Aware High-Order Diffusion Method for Edge Detection in the Wavelet Domain"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0336-9407","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chenhua","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Digital Media and Communications, School of Applied Science, Taiyuan University of Science and Technology, Taiyuan 030024, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anhong","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Digital Media and Communications, School of Applied Science, Taiyuan University of Science and Technology, Taiyuan 030024, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"301","DOI":"10.1111\/j.2517-6161.1995.tb02032.x","article-title":"Wavelet Shrinkage: Asymptopia?","volume":"57","author":"Donoho","year":"1995","journal-title":"J.
