Abstract: The present disclosure provides a detection system for detecting matter and distinguishing specific matter from other matter. The detection system comprises at least one light source arranged to emit one or more light beams having a known wavelength or wavelength range. Further, the detection system comprises at least one optical element configured to direct the one or more light beams onto a plurality of locations within an area of interest including the matter. The detection system also comprises a detector for detecting intensities of the one or more light beams reflected at the plurality of locations within the area of interest including the matter. In addition, the detection system comprises an outcome determination system. The system is arranged to obtain information indicative of at least a portion of a shape of at least some of the matter based on detected light intensities of the one or more light beams reflected at the plurality of locations.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a detection system for detecting matter and distinguishing specific matter from other matter. The detection system comprises a spectral analysis system configured to at least assist in determining whether matter comprises the specific matter based on an intensity of light reflected from the specific matter. The spectral analysis system comprises a light source capable of emitting light having at least one known wavelength or wavelength range. Further, the spectral analysis system comprises an optical element for directing the emitted light towards the matter. The spectral analysis system also comprises a detector for detecting light reflected from the matter and a spatial analysis stem. The spatial analysis system is configured to at least assist in determining whether the matter comprises the specific matter based on a shape of the matter. The spatial analysis system comprising an image capturing device for capturing an image of the matter.
