Apparatus and method for processing image

An electronic device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memories in which instructions to be executed by the one or more processors are stored,
• wherein the one or more processors
• obtain a first mixed image of a sample comprising a first biomolecule labeled with a first fluorescent material and a second biomolecule that has not been labeled;
• obtain a second mixed image of the sample comprising the first biomolecule labeled with the first fluorescent material and the second biomolecule labeled with a second fluorescent material;
• obtain a third mixed image of the sample comprising the first biomolecule labeled with the first fluorescent material, the second biomolecule labeled with the second fluorescent material, and a third biomolecule labeled with a third fluorescent material, and
• generate an unmixed image of the second biomolecule based on the first mixed image and the second mixed image,
• wherein the generating of the unmixed image comprises generating an unmixed image of the third biomolecule additionally based on the third mixed image,
• wherein the first mixed image is an image obtained by photographing a sample comprising the second biomolecule that has not been labeled and the third biomolecule that has not been labeled, and
• wherein the second mixed image is an image obtained by photographing a sample comprising the third biomolecule that has not been labeled.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium on which upon execution by one or more processors, instructions enabling the one or more processors to perform an operation are recorded,

• wherein the instructions enable the one or more processors to perform a method of processing an image comprising:
• obtaining a first mixed image of a sample comprising a first biomolecule labeled with a first fluorescent material and a second biomolecule that has not been labeled,
• obtaining a second mixed image of the sample comprising the first biomolecule labeled with the first fluorescent material and the second biomolecule labeled with a second fluorescent material, and
• generating an unmixed image of the second biomolecule based on the first mixed image and the second mixed image,
• obtaining a third mixed image of the sample comprising the first biomolecule labeled with the first fluorescent material, the second biomolecule labeled with the second fluorescent material, and a third biomolecule labeled with a third fluorescent material,
• wherein the generating of the unmixed image comprises generating an unmixed image of the third biomolecule additionally based on the third mixed image,
• wherein the first mixed image is an image obtained by photographing a sample comprising the second biomolecule that has not been labeled and the third biomolecule that has not been labeled, and
• wherein the second mixed image is an image obtained by photographing a sample comprising the third biomolecule that has not been labeled.
