      The start-to-end chemometric image processing of 2D thin-layer videoscans
      L. KOMSTA*, L. CIESLA, Anna BOGUCKA-KOCKA, Aleksandra JÓZEFCZYK, J. KRYSZEN, Monika WAKSMUNDZKA-HAJNOS (*Dep. of Med. Chem., Med. Univ. of Lublin, Jaczewskiego 4, 20-090 Lublin, Poland)

      J. of Chromatogr. A 1218 (19), 2820-2825 (2011). A unified procedure for image preprocessing of 2D TLC videoscans saved as JPG files is proposed for further supervised or unsupervised chemometric analysis. The procedure was based on open source software and included denoising using a median filter, baseline removal with the rollerball algorithm and nonlinear warping using spline functions. The application of the proposed procedure enabled filtration of random differences between images, such as changes in the intensity of the background as well as differences in the location of the zones. After the preprocessing only the zone intensity had an influence on the statistical analysis by principal component analysis (PCA) or other techniques. The proposed technique was successfully applied for the determination of the differences between three Carex species based on the 2D videoscans of the extracts.
