Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 21:
22. A non-transitory storage medium storing instructions readable and executable by an electronic processor to perform a multispectral inspection (MSI) method of an associated Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) product having a printed circuit board (PCB), the MSI method comprising:
controlling an optical imaging scanner to acquire an optical image of the associated COTS product;
analyzing the optical image to identify electronic components mounted on the PCB, locations of the electronic components on the PCB, and structural metrics of the electronic components;
performing optical character recognition (OCR) on the optical image to identify textual content with associated locations on the PCB;
labeling the identified electronic components with part identifiers based at least on the structural metrics of the electronic components and the textual content with associated locations on the PCB;
comparing the identified and labeled electronic components with a bill of materials (BOM) for the associated COTS product; and
generating a BOM compliance report for the associated COTS product based on the comparison.
