  • Patent number: 11715556
    Abstract: Various embodiments include systems and methods of arthropod detection using an electronic arthropod detection device. The electronic arthropod detection device may scan a surface or a subject using one or both of a hyperspectral image sensor or a multispectral image sensor that is sensitive to multiple bands of electromagnetic radiation to detect the presence or likely presence of an arthropod in a region of interest (ROI). A camera sensitive to a visible band of electromagnetic radiation may be used to capture at least one image and provides the image(s) to an object detection model in response to determining that an arthropod is or is likely present in the ROI. Hyperspectral and/or multispectral images may be provided to the object detection model alone or in combination with visible light image(s). A processor may initiate an arthropod detected procedure in response to detecting an arthropod in the ROI.

  • Publication number: 20220171979
    Abstract: Various embodiments include systems and methods of arthropod detection using an electronic arthropod detection device. The electronic arthropod detection device may scan a surface or a subject using a terahertz sensor that is sensitive to a terahertz band of electromagnetic radiation to detect the presence or likely presence of an arthropod in a region of interest (ROI). A camera sensitive to a visible band of electromagnetic radiation captures at least one image and provides the image(s) to an object detection model in response to determining that an arthropod is or is likely present in the ROI. A processor may initiate an arthropod detected procedure in response to detecting an arthropod in the ROI.

  • Patent number: 10496893
    Abstract: Various embodiments include systems and methods of arthropod detection using an electronic arthropod detection device. A processor of an electronic arthropod detection device may scan a surface or a subject using the electronic arthropod detection device and capture at least one image while scanning the surface or the subject using the electronic arthropod detection device. The processor may determine whether the at least one image includes a region of interest (ROI) corresponding to an arthropod and provide an identification area of the at least one image to an object detection model in response to determining that the at least one image includes an ROI. The processor may initiate an arthropod detected procedure in response to receiving a result from the object detection model that indicates that an arthropod is detected within the identification area of the at least one image.

  • Patent number: 10489670
    Abstract: Various embodiments include systems and methods of arthropod detection using an electronic arthropod detection device. The electronic arthropod detection device may scan a surface or a subject using a first sensor that is sensitive to a first band of electromagnetic radiation to detect the presence or likely presence of an arthropod. A camera sensitive to a second band of electromagnetic radiation captures at least one image and provide the image(s) to an object detection model in response to determining that an arthropod is or is likely present. A processor may initiate an arthropod detected procedure in response to detecting an arthropod in the image(s). In some embodiments, the first sensor may be a millimeter wave radar, a terahertz radar or a far infrared sensor.
