Molecular Scene Analysis and Its Role in Protein Structure Determination

The paper presents an introduction to scene analysis, an area of machine vision concerned with the set of processes associated with the reconstruction, classification and interpretation of complex images. Approaches designed to extend scene analysis to the molecular domain and, in particular, to the analysis and interpretation of protein electron density maps are described. Examples are given of applications to protein maps at medium and low resolution.
