Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for analyzing an imaging system or an image produced by the imaging system are disclosed. The imaging system is configured to sense a target on a background and the target, background, and imaging system are associated with spatial information and spectral information. The imaging system or image is analyzed by, first, determining two of a spatial confidence level associated with the spatial information, a spectral confidence level associated with the spectral information, and a total confidence level associated with sensing the target on the background. A non-determined one of the spatial confidence level, the spectral confidence level, and the total confidence level is then calculated responsive to the determined confidence levels for use in analyzing the imaging system or image.
