Patent abstract

Disclosed are methods of processing images, and in particular aligning and orienting grids from a fluorescent array of signal sources, by linking nearest neighbor sources to form a hexagon, and then using the hexagon lines for alignment and orientation of the grid. Also disclosed are methods and algorithms for aligning image with grid and correcting for signal beads which are smaller than a grid field and the shift in a grid field. These methods can be used where the signal sources are fluorescent images from a microarray. Also disclosed are methods of automated watershed clustering following transformation.
