A multifunctional device and method for bispectral imaging are provided. The device and method include acquiring a plurality of bispectral images (IBM), each bispectral image being the combination of two acquired images (IM1, 1M2) in two different spectral bands, and generating a plurality of images, each of which gives an impression of depth by combining the two acquired images (IM1, 1M2) and forming imaging information. The method includes simultaneously processing the plurality of bispectral images in order to generate, in addition to the imaging information, watch information and/or early threat information, comprising the following steps: searching for specific spectrum and time signatures, associated with a particular threat, in the plurality of bispectral images; and detecting a specific object in each bispectral image, and generating a time-tracking of the position of the object in the plurality of images in each spectral band, and the detecting and the tracking of the object forming the watch information.
