ANALYSIS OF CHEMICAL DATA FROM IMAGES

摘要

Apparatus and methods for extracting and analyzing combinatorial chemical data from images (110). The invention receives a stream of data (120), identifies a plurality of regions of interest and determines a series of values for one or more regions of interest. The library includes a plurality of members. The data stream includes a series of images of the library. Each region of interest corresponds to a location in each of the images and to a location in the library. The series of values for each region includes a value for each of the images. The stream of data comprises a series of images generated at a frequency of greater than about 1, 6, 12 or 30 frames per second. The series of images are captured from a beginning of a combinatorial experiment to an end of a combinatorial experiment. The regions of interest are identified after the series of images has been captured (160). The images are infrared images (100). Regions of interest are identified by a user and have a user-defined shape (170, 190). A graphical representation of the figures of merit is displayed (196).
