In this paper, we present the development of a sensing system with the capability to compute multispectral point clouds in real-time. The proposed multi-eye sensor system effectively registers information from the visible, (long-wave) infrared, and ultraviolet spectrum to its depth sensing frame, thus enabling to measure a wider range of surface features that are otherwise hidden to the naked eye. For that, we designed a new cross-calibration apparatus that produces consistent features which can be sensed by each of the cameras, therefore, acting as a multispectral "chessboard". The performance of the sensor is evaluated with two different cases of studies, where we show that the proposed system can detect "hidden" features of a 3D environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
