Description

The paper presents a cascade of preprocessing procedures aiming at enhancing the quality of images generated by gas-chromatography ion mobility spectrometers (GC-IMS). The methods successfully eliminate the Reactant Ion Peak (RIP) lines, while additionally filtering out noisy components. The resulting images enable better localization and matching of the peaks associated with the presence of distinct analytes in the samples under study.
