✦ Synopsis

The rapid advancement of DNA chip (microarray) technology has revolutionalized genetic research in bioscience. However, the enormous amount of data produced from a microarray image makes automatic computer analysis indispensable. An important ΓΏrst step in analyzing microarray image is the accurate determination of the DNA spots in the image. We report here a novel spot segmentation method for DNA microarray images. The algorithm makes use of adaptive thresholding and statistical intensity modeling to: (i) generate the grid structure automatically, where each subregion in the grid contains only one spot, and (ii) to segment the spot, if any, within each subregion. The algorithm is fully automatic, robust, and can aid in the high throughput computer analysis of microarray data.
