Abstract (EN): This paper presents an automatic system to extract and classify DNA profiles in a digital image. The system uses image segmentation and cumulative histogram analysis to identify both the number of layers in the image, and the number of profiles present in each layer. Once the individual profiles are located, their signatures are extracted and used to perform a hierarchical classification of the individual DNA profiles.
