Abstract
Multispectral imaging and related techniques are provided to detect thermal and non-thermal anomalies at reduced false detection rates. A multispectral imaging system includes an infrared light imaging sensor that captures infrared image data in a first spectral band, of a scene and an ultraviolet light imaging sensor that captures ultraviolet image data in a second spectral band, of the scene. The system also includes a processor that combines the ultraviolet image data and the infrared image data to generate composite image data, determines a ratio of a first radiant intensity in the first spectral band to a second radiant intensity in the second spectral band, from the composite image data, and determines whether the ratio corresponds to a predetermined radiant intensity ratio of a known thermal or electrical anomaly. The processor can detect the thermal or electrical anomaly when the determined ratio corresponds to the predetermined radiant intensity ratio.
