Abstract
After prepared biological samples have been submitted to liquid-chromatography/mass spectrometry equipment, digital images are produced that show variations. Some of these variations may be of interest while others are not of interest. Variations in regions of interest can be correlated and correlation scores produced to classify biological features aid in scientific discovery. Shape properties of variations can also be calculated by geometric scores. A microalignment method aids the correlation calculation without resorting to macroalignment.
