This process starts with the image of a microarray that is produced in the laboratory and produces intensity information indicating the amount of light emitted by each probe. In particular, after the array has been hybridized, it is scanned to obtain an image that shows the amount of light emitted across the surface of the microarray. The image is then analyzed to identify the "spots" (i.e., the parts of the image corresponding to the DNA probes on the microarray) and the amount of light that can be attributed to target molecules bound to each probe.

a common factor analysis of the predictable variance of a set of variables. Each variable, X 1,m), is regressed on the remaining (m-1) variables to obtain the predicted Xi values. Then the covariance matrix of the predicted Xi's is factored to produce an image analysis. See image of a variable.

A research field in computer science concerned with developing technologies for automatic understanding of what a computer is seeing, such as identifying a target or an incoming enemy missile with a smart weapon.

The Image analysis is the extraction of useful information from images; mainly from digital images by means of digital image processing techniques. Image analysis tasks can be as simple as reading bar coded tags or as sophisticated as identifying a person by its face.

The process of identifying objects and shapes in a photograph, drawing, video or other visual image. Image analysis is used for everything from colorizing classic motion pictures to piloting cruise missiles.
