Abstract
The present disclosure provides a detection system for detecting matter and distinguishing specific matter from other matter. The detection system comprises at least one light source arranged to emit one or more light beams having a known wavelength or wavelength range. Further, the detection system comprises at least one optical element configured to direct the one or more light beams onto a plurality of locations within an area of interest including the matter. The detection system also comprises a detector for detecting intensities of the one or more light beams reflected at the plurality of locations within the area of interest including the matter. In addition, the detection system comprises an outcome determination system. The system is arranged to obtain information indicative of at least a portion of a shape of at least some of the matter based on detected light intensities of the one or more light beams reflected at the plurality of locations. The system is also arranged to obtain information indicative of a spectral intensity distribution based on detected light intensities of the one or more light beams reflected at the plurality of locations. The outcome determination system is arranged determine whether the matter is specific matter based on the information indicative of at least a portion of a shape of at least some of the matter and based on the information indicative of a spectral intensity distribution.
