Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to present classification schemes for the crystallization state of proteins utilizing image processing.

Design/methodology/approach

Two classification schemes shown here are combined sequentially.

Findings

The correct ratio of experimental result using the method presented here is approximately 70 per cent.

Originality/value

The paper is a contribution to automated evaluation crystal growth, combining two classifiers based on specific visual feature, sequentially.
