Abstract:
A comparative study of four enhancement algorithms traditionally used in computer vision for photometric normalization of images affected by illumination changes is presented in this paper. We experimented with the performance of these approaches to reduce the low frequency multiplicative noise that is produced as a result of a non-homogeneity illumination or a non-homogeneity developed chemical process in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis images for the purpose of automatic classification of deoxyribo nucleic acid (DNA). The algorithms are tested on a database and their results are compared in a system for feature extraction and DNA classification.

SDS-PAGE
A variation of gel electrophoresis, termed polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), is commonly used for separating proteins according to their molecular size by passing them through a polyacrylamide gel. Because of the varying charges associated with amino acid side chains, PAGE can be used to separate intact proteins...
DNA Agarose Gel Electrophoresis
Gel extraction follows five major steps: running gel electrophoresis to separate fragments, isolating the individual bands, extracting DNA from those bands, and removing the dye and salts from the extracted mixture to obtain pure DNA.
