Image analysis system and method of biochip
First Claim
1. A biochip image analysis system comprising:
- an image storage unit for storing various categories of image information including an original image of a biochip comprising a set of specific genes each expressed in different environments by fluorescent bases of different colors;
an image converter for converting the biochip'"'"'s original image stored in the image storage unit into a test image, forming an overlapped image and a color image from the test image, and storing the images in the image storage unit;
an edge detector for separating the genes in the spot form from the test image stored in the image storage unit, generating a spot template and a background template, and detecting an edge so as to measure expression degrees of the respective genes;
a data processor for generating statistical data on the basis of the spot template and the background template generated through the image storage unit and the edge detector, and performing luminance correction; and
a data storage unit for storing the statistical data generated by the data processor.

3. A biochip image analysis method, comprising:
-
(a) extracting an original image according to a fluorescent base from a biochip comprising a set of specific genes each expressed in a different environment by a fluorescent base of a different color;
(b) converting the original image into a test image, and extracting an overlapped image and a color image from the test image;
(c) respectively separating the genes in the spot form from the test image, generating a spot template and a background template including an area within a predetermined distance excluding the spot, and detecting an edge; and
(d) outputting statistical data on the basis of the spot template and the background template generated in (b) or (c), and performing luminance correction. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
