Abstract
An analytical image processing system is used to analyze spots on color electrophoretograms. In one embodiment, the boundary of a spot chosen by the user is uniquely defined using polar cross-sections and is illustrated on a user interactive display. In such manner, the user is provided with visual confirmation of the shape of the spot used as a basis for generating output data relating to the spot analysis. The output data includes information not only about the two-dimensional area of the spot but also the intensity thereof to provide a useful measure of the quantity of protein present in the spot.
