Systems and methods for identifying threats and locations, systems and method for augmenting real-time displays demonstrating the threat location, and systems and methods for responding to threats

A method for identifying a threat material, the method comprising:

• detecting a presence of a threat material disposed at a location on an exterior surface of an object in an area using an image acquisition device, the detecting the presence of the threat material comprising
• capturing an image of the exterior surface of the object using an image acquisition device to provide a captured image,
• defining an image mask of the captured image,
• defining a segmentation threshold based on the image mask,
• detecting a valid segment in the captured image based on the segmentation threshold to provide a detected valid segment,
• generating an augmented reality tag based on the detected valid segment, and
• associating the augmented reality tag with a three-dimensional model of the area;
• and
• displaying at least a portion of the three-dimensional model on a display device and indicating the location of the detected threat material on the exterior surface of the object based on the augmented reality tag.

A method for augmenting a real-time display to include a location of a threat material, the method comprising:

• detecting a presence of a threat material on an exterior surface of an object in an area using an analytical instrument configured to detect at least one of a chemical threat, a biological threat, a radiological threat, an explosive threat, a drug threat, and/or a narcotic threat;
• determining a location of the analytical instrument when the threat material was detected using at least one of a global positioning system (GPS) and light detection and ranging (LIDAR);
• generating an augmented reality tag based on the detected presence of the threat material and the location of the analytical instrument when the threat material was detected;
• associating the augmented reality tag with a three-dimensional model of the area;
• and
• displaying at least a portion of the three-dimensional model on a real-time display device and indicating the location of the detected threat material on the exterior surface of the object based on the augmented reality tag;
• wherein the location of the analytical instrument is in relation to the object;
• and
• wherein the object is moved to a different location in the area, and displaying at least a second portion of the three-dimensional model on the real-time display device and indicating the location of the detected threat material on the exterior surface of the object based on the augmented reality tag based on the location of the analytical object in relation to the object.
