Vector Median Root Signals Determination for cDNA Microarray Image Segmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new cDNA microarray image segmentation framework. The framework uses robust vector median filtering to generate a root sigLnal which is an image obtained from the input by repeatedly filtering it until no more changes occur. During the convergence to the root signal, the framework classifies the cDNA image data as either microarray spots or image background, and ideally separates the regular spots from the background. Thus, the obtained root signal represents the segmented microarray image. In addition, the framework excellently removes noise present in the cDNA microarray images and normalizes spots’ intensities.

cDNA microarray image segmentation using root signals
A vector processing based framework suitable for cDNA microarray image segmentation is introduced and analyzed in this paper. By using nonlinear, generalized selection vector filters the framework proposed here classifies the cDNA image data as either microarray spots or image background. The solution converges to a root signal that represents the segmented cDNA microarray image with the regula...
