Spectral enhancements to mobile devices

A method for capturing multispectral and hyperspectral data for a region of interest using one or more spectral boost mechanisms or techniques, the method comprising:

• at a first computer-enabled imaging device comprising one or more first processors, a first two-dimensional pixelated detector, and first memory for storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more first processors:
• obtaining a first multi-spectral or hyperspectral workflow comprising a first plurality of images of the region of interest, each respective image of the first plurality of images corresponding to image data captured for a corresponding frequency band of a plurality of frequency bands of light, wherein each respective image in the first plurality of images is a time-stamped two-dimensional pixelated image;
• associating first meta data with respective images of the first plurality of images, wherein the first meta data comprises:
• (i) a plurality of first positions and a plurality of first orientations of the first imaging device indicating first positional and orientation data for the first imaging device during the obtaining of the first workflow, and (ii) indications of a respective frequency band for each respective image in the first plurality of images;
• at a central system and/or the first imaging device:
• generating a consolidated multi-spectral or hyperspectral workflow for the region of interest by spectrally and spatially consolidating the first plurality of images using the first meta data.
