title: Matching 2D gel electrophoresis images.
abstract: Automatic alignment (matching) of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis images is of primary interest in the field of proteomics. The proposed method of 2D gel image matching is based on fuzzy alignment of features, extracted from gels' images, and it allows both global and local interpolation of image grid, followed by brightness interpolation. Method performance is tested on simulated images and gel images available via the Internet databases.
