摘要:
A system and method of correlating Raman measurements with digital images of a treated sample and using this correlation to classify the disease state of the sample. A spectroscopic data set is obtained for the sample positioned in the field of view of a spectroscopic device. The positional information about the field of view is stored. With the sample removed from the field of view, the sample is treated with a contrast enhancing agent. Using the stored positional information for the field of view, the treated sample is repositioned in the spectroscopic device's field of view. A digital image of the treated sample positioned in the field of view is obtained. The spectroscopic data set is linked with the digital image by defining a transformation to map the image spatial coordinates of the digital image to the spectral spatial coordinates of the spectroscopic data. A database having a plurality of spectroscopic data sets, for samples having well characterized pathology, is provided. Each spectroscopic data set is linked to a corresponding digital image, and each spectroscopic data set is associated with the known sample. Each corresponding digital image is associated with the known sample treated with a contrast enhancing agent. For the spectroscopic data set of the sample, the database is searched to identify a spectroscopic data set, of a known sample, matching the sample's spectroscopic data set.

摘要:
A method and a portable device for assessing the occurrence of an agent in a sample. A sample is illuminated with photons emanating from a portable device to produce photons reflected, emitted, or absorbed from a set of multiple points in the sample having a defined geometric relationship. The portable device is used to simultaneously illuminate the sample and analyze the photons reflected, emitted, or absorbed from the set of multiple points using spectroscopic methods, including infrared, fluorescence, and UV/visible. The agent assessed may include a hazardous agent, a chemical agent, a biological agent, a microorganism, a bacterium, a protozoan, a virus, and combinations thereof.
摘要:
A system and method to search spectra databases and to identify unknown materials. A library having a plurality of sublibraries is provided wherein each sublibrary contains a plurality of reference data sets generated by a corresponding one of a plurality of spectroscopic data generating instruments associated with the sublibrary. Each reference data set characterizes a corresponding known material. A plurality of test data sets is provided that is characteristic of an unknown material, wherein each test data set is generated by one or more of the plurality of spectroscopic data generating instruments. For each test data set, each sublibrary is searched where the sublibrary is associated with the spectroscopic data generating instrument used to generate the test data set. A corresponding set of scores for each searched sublibrary is produced, wherein each score in the set of scores indicates a likelihood of a match between one of the plurality of reference data sets in the searched sublibrary and the test data set. A set of relative probability values is calculated for each searched sublibrary based on the set of scores for each searched sublibrary. All relative probability values for each searched sublibrary are fused producing a set of final probability values that are used in determining whether the unknown material is represented through a known material characterized in the library. A highest final probability value is selected from the set of final probability values and compared to a minimum confidence value. The known material represented in the libraries having the highest final probability value is reported, if the highest final probability value is greater than or equal to the minimum confidence value.

摘要:
The present disclosure provides for a system and method for detecting and identifying unknown targets. At least one region of interest comprising an unknown target in a sample scene may be targeted using SWIR spectroscopic techniques. A region of interest may be surveyed to thereby determine whether or not a human is present. This surveying may be achieved my assessing LWIR data, data acquired from motion sensors, and combinations thereof. If no human is present in a region of interest, the region may be interrogated using Raman spectroscopic techniques to thereby obtain a Raman data set representative of the region of interest. This Raman data set may be assessed to thereby identify said unknown target. This assessment may be achieved by comparing the Raman data set to a reference data sets in a reference database, where each reference data set is associated with a known target.
