Rectification of distorted chromosome image: automatic determination of density profiles.

In this study, we present a new method of the rectification of distorted chromosome image allowing a more accurate description of the chromosome by obtaining density profiles with a large choice of scan axes, and an automatic centromere localisation and determination of the centromeric index.
