Guided multi-spectral inspection

A method for imaging, comprising:

• capturing, by a first imaging system, initial sensor data in a form of visible domain data;
• detecting, by a controller subsystem, at least one region of interest in real-time by applying a machine learning technique to the visible domain data;
• localizing, by the controller subsystem, at least one object of interest in the at least one region of interest to generate positional data for the at least one object of interest;
• and
• autonomously steering, by the controller subsystem, a point of focus of a second imaging system to a same or similar scene to capture subsequent sensor data in a form of second domain data responsive to the positional data, wherein the initial and the subsequent sensor data are of different spectral domains.

A computer program product for imaging, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computing system to cause the computing system to perform a method, the method comprising:

• capturing, by a first imaging system of the computing system, initial sensor data in a form of visible domain data;
• detecting, by a controller subsystem of the computing system, at least one region of interest in real-time by applying a machine learning technique to the visible domain data;
• localizing, by the controller subsystem, at least one object of interest in the at least one region of interest to generate positional data for the at least one object of interest;
• and
• autonomously steering, by the controller subsystem, a point of focus of a second imaging system of the computing system to a same or similar scene to capture subsequent sensor data in a form of second domain data responsive to the positional data, wherein the initial and the subsequent sensor data are of different spectral domains.
