Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes, by an electromagnetic device, emitting optical radiation on one or more objects disposed inside an interior of the electronic device, where the optical radiation is emitted by one or more radiation sources, capturing a set of 2D images of the one or more objects illuminated by the optical radiation, where variation of illumination or of an imaging process permits the set of 2D images to be combined into a representation of the one or more objects, determining whether the set of images comprises a representation of the one or more objects as imaged, in response to determining that the set of images comprises a representation of the one or more objects as imaged, generating a three-dimensional (3D) spectral data cube of the one or more first objects based on spectral information of the first set of images, and storing the 3D spectral data cube for processing by the electronic device.
