1. A system comprising:
a multispectral imaging system, wherein the multispectral imaging system comprises an infrared imaging module configured to provide infrared image data associated with a first spectral band and an ultraviolet imaging module configured to provide ultraviolet image data associated with a second spectral band, of at least a portion of a scene; and
a logic device configured to communicate with the multispectral imaging system, wherein the logic device is configured to:
determine a ratio of a first radiant intensity in the first spectral band to a second radiant intensity in the second spectral band, from the infrared image data and the ultraviolet image data;
determine whether the ratio corresponds to a predetermined radiant intensity ratio of a thermal or electrical anomaly; and
detect at least one of the thermal or electrical anomaly associated with the scene when the ratio corresponds to the predetermined radiant intensity ratio of the thermal or electrical anomaly.
