In this paper, we propose a new scheme to detect and align simultaneously peaks for biomarker identification. The proposed peak detection and alignment approach is based on the use of evidence theory which is well suited to model uncertainty and imprecision that characterize the 2D NMR HRMAS spectra. The peak detection and alignment results will be then used to identify biomarkers present in the biopsy. We particularly show that the use of fuzzy set theory in our biomarker identification scheme achieves consistently high performance compared to the threshold methods.
