Morphological approach for detection of protein spots from 2D-gel image

Abstract

The present paper on detection of Protein spots from 2D gel image used several morphological operators. Protein spots are associated mostly with those regions whose intensity is least in 2D gel images. As maximum protein spots are in round shape, a disk shape structuring element is used for identification. More number of protein spots is presents in complex region of 2D gel image. For detecting more number of protein spots from 2D gel image, radius of structuring elements are taken care up in this paper.
