Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of capturing and processing a multi-spectral image of an object comprises placing the object on a flat-bed scanner ( 1 ), using the flat-bed scanner ( 1 ) to illuminate the object successively with monochromatic light at a series of wave-lengths to produce a plurality of images together forming a composite multi-spectral image, determining a spectral profile of at least a portion of the multi-spectral image and comparing the spectral profile to a stored spectral profile ( 22, 24 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of capturing and processing a multi-spectral image of an object, comprising: placing said object on a flat-bed scanner, using said flat-bed scanner to illuminate the object successively with monochromatic light from a monochromatic light source remote from the flat-bed scanner at a series of wavelengths to produce a plurality of images together forming a composite multi-spectral image, determining a spectral profile of at least a portion of sai…
