Methods, systems, and computer program products for estimating the location of a probe cell in an image of a high-density microarray DNA chip interrogate a plurality of different closely spaced estimated locations to identify the most likely estimated location of the probe cell in the image.

Methods for estimating probe cell locations in high-density synthetic DNA microarrays

Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for automatic image recognition of standard shapes which include a core-based deformable loci skeletal grid used to define and represent an object via a model template. The template includes deformable segments, the changes of which are measurable against the deformed model corresponding to an object in a subsequent image. Statistical correlation techniques optimize the match to further refine the shape of the subsequent image.
