Claim 19:
20. A non-transitory storage medium storing instructions readable and executable by an electronic processor to perform a multispectral inspection (MSI) method of an associated electronic item having a printed circuit board (PCB), the MSI method comprising:
controlling an optical imaging scanner to acquire an optical image of the associated electronic item;
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; and
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, wherein the structural metrics include dimensions of the identified electronic components and numbers of pins of the identified electronic components.
