Yet up to 70% of experimental data generated in pharmaceutical and life science laboratories consists of images, rather than letters and numbers. Current methods of data-mining don't suit the unstructured content found in images, and therefore their utility in research is limited. The only alternative has been to manually extract and record visual information, but this is time-consuming, subjective and incomplete.
