Abstract
A method of detecting a substance includes, for each position of a plurality of positions in a field of view of an environment: emitting from a light source a light beam including a predetermined wavelength that is absorbable by a constituent of the substance, controlling at least one mirror to direct the emitted light beam to the position in the field of view, detecting by a detector light resulting from the emitted light beam, and determining whether the constituent of the substance is present at the position in the field of view based on characteristics of the detected light; generating a detection map indicating a presence or an absence of the substance at the plurality of positions in the field of view of the environment; capturing, by an image capture device, an image of the environment; and identifying a portion of the captured image having the substance based on the detection map.
