This paper gives a detailed review of current techniques in quantification, however the methods discussed, have different levels of sophistication in both theory and practice, and the level of sophistication does not necessarily correlate with the effectiveness of the method. Meanwhile, each method has different capability to deal with various challenges including the ever-increasing density of spot layout, irregular shapes of spots, and inevitable contaminations. Clearly the proposed method provides a need, for improving the consistency, robustness, and accuracy of the microarray image quantification I. INTRUDUCTION Microarray sequences on a single microscopic glass slide. The extraction of gene expression levels is accomplished through image analysis techniques namely gridding, spot segmentation and intensity extraction. allows the simultaneous study of tens of thousands of different DNA nucleotide Extracted mean intensities correspond to gene expression levels that, in turn, are translated into biological conclusions by molecular biologists, using data mining techniques. However, microarray experiments involve a number of error prone steps (occurring during fabrication, target labeling, and hybridization), which induce noise on the resulting images. Microarray images are also corrupted by irregularities in shape, size, and position of the spot. The ultimate goal in microarray image analysis is to automatically quantify each spot, giving relevant extent of hybrizations of the two samples, a process known as quantification. II.PROPOSED METHOD An efficient quantification algorithm is proposed to validate the performance of segmentation. We demonstrate the success of the proposed method by measuring confidence interval of the propo... ... middle of paper ... ... 2.36]. The lengths of 95% confidence interval are: [3.35, 4.18, 4.18, 2.82] The means of added and deleted pixels for various spots in a simulated image are: [8.40, 6.19, 5.15, 1.48] and standard deviation are: [17.96, 8.19, 5.31, 0.38]. The confidence intervals for the GMM, K-means, Multifeature and proposed are: [c1, c2]: [6.76, 10.04], [5.44, 6.93], [4.66, 5.63], [1.44, 1.51]. The lengths of 90% confidence interval are: [3.28, 1.49, 0.97, 0.07]. The lengths of 95% confidence interval are: [3.91, 1.78, 1.16, 0.08].
