1. A scanner for detecting a latent pathogenic skin condition in a patient comprising:

  • an infrared sensor configured to generate a first data set;

    an optical sensor configured to generate a second data set;

    an input module configured to receive one or more key factor input for the patient;

    a metrics module electrically connected to the infrared sensor, the optical sensor, and the input module, comprising a combinational and adaptive processor and memory, programmed to;

    receive the one or more key factor input for the patient from the input module,acquire and store the first data set and the second data set,determine a combination weighted function based on the first and the second data sets, andcompare the combination weighted function to a baseline of key indicators to determine that the latent pathogenic skin condition is present; and

    perform simultaneous localization and mapping of a portion of the patient'"'"'s body with the infrared sensor and the optical sensor while the combinational and adaptive processor acquires the first data set and the second data set; and

    an accelerometer and a feature matching engine configured to receive simultaneously-captured visual images from the optical sensor and thermal images from the infrared sensor, perform feature detection on the visual images and thermal images, perform a homography calculation on the visual images and thermal images using timestamps from the accelerometer to align the detected features in the visual and thermal images, perform homography transformations on one or both of the visual images and thermal images, and perform image fusion on the resulting transformed image.
