Images in cellular and molecular biology (from microscopy, blots, biochips, etc.) are often disturbed, so that the detection and analysis of the respective relevant geometrical objects may be difficult or error-prone. The disturbances are either caused by the detector, usually a CCD camera, or by the experimental setup. Furthermore, microtechnology experiments often require simultaneous multiple-colour stainings. Therefore, the image analysis of such experiments should be colour-sensitive, and colour shadings should not only be detectable but also quantifiable.
