Contamination Indicator Decontamination Assurance System (CIDAS) mapped chemical agent contamination on an M113 armored personnel carrier. (Top) CIDAS was used to identify areas of surface contamination on a vehicle. Areas with positive CIDAS signal are shown by a red dye, as seen by the human eye. (Bottom) Artificial intelligence computer vision algorithms are under development to automatically recognize the positive CIDAS signal and create a 2D and 3D digital contamination map on the vehicle surface. The contamination map is indicated by the purple overlay on the image and the map can be
