In this work, a comprehensive review on automatic analysis of Proteomics and Genomics images is presented. Special emphasis is given to a particularly complex image produced by a technique called Two-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis (2-DE), with thousands of spots (or blobs). Automatic methods for the detection, segmentation and matching of blob like features are discussed and proposed. In particular, a very robust procedure was achieved for processing 2-DE images, consisting mainly of two steps: a) A very trustworthy new approach for the automatic detection and segmentation of spots, based on the Watershed Transform, without any foreknowledge of spot shape or size, and without user intervention; b) A new method for spot matching, based on image registration, that performs well for either global or local distortions. The results of the proposed methods are compared to state-of-the-art academic and commercial products.

The algorithm developed uses an octree pyramid in which noise is reduced at the expense of the spatial resolution. At a certain level an unsupervised clustering without spatial connectivity constraints is applied. After the classification, isolated voxels and insignificant regions are removed by assigning them to their neighbours. The spatial resolution is then increased by the downprojection of the regions, level by level. At each level the uncertainty of the boundary voxels is minimised by a dynamic selection and classification of these, using an adaptive 3D filtering. The algorithm is tested using different data sets, including NMR data.

The analysis of seabed structure is important in a wide variety of scientific and industrial applications. In this paper, underwater acoustic data produced by bottom-penetrating sonar (Topas) are analyzed using unsupervised volumetric segmentation, based on a three dimensional Gibbs-Markov model. The result is a concise and accurate description of the seabed, in which key structures are emphasized. This description is also very well suited to further operations, such as the enhancement and automatic recognition of important structures. Experimental results demonstrating the effectiveness of this approach are shown, using Topas data gathered in the North Sea off Horten, Norway.
