N2 - The standard methods of the magnetic field measurement, based on an analysis of the relation between the Stokes $V$-parameter and the first derivative of the total line profile intensity, were modified by applying a linear integral operator $\hat{L}$ to the both sides of this relation.As the operator $\hat{L}$, the operator of the wavelet transform with DOG-wavelets is used. The key advantage of the proposed method is an effective suppression of the noise contribution into the line profile and the Stokes parameter $V$. The efficiency of the method has been studied using the model line profiles with various noise contributions. To test the proposed method, the spectropolarimetric observations of the A0 star $\alpha^2\,$~CVn, Of?p star HD~148937 and A0 supergiant HD~92207 were used. The longitudinal magnetic field strengths calculated by our method appeared to be in a good agreement with those determined by other methods.
