Image processing for certain sequencing technologies requires data processing algorithms that provide fast sequence detection with low error rates. Methods and apparatus for performing image analysis for identifying nucleotide incorporations includes performing an image segmentation procedure on a plurality of data sets to identify sample objects and to create segmented data sets for each of the data sets. Each data set represents a sample image that includes a plurality of pixel locations and intensity data associated with each of the pixel locations. The segmented data sets represent identified sample objects for each one of the sample image data sets. An image registration procedure is performed on the segmented data sets to align the identified sample objects and to create data representative of the aligned identified sample objects. A strand formation procedure is then performed on the data representative of the aligned identified sample objects to identify nucleotide incorporations.
