Abstract: A method, apparatus and system for profiling a material composition of a volume is disclosed. A beam source directs a pulsed beam of electromagnetic energy from into the volume. A plurality of backscattered beams is received at a detector. The plurality of backscattered beams is generated from a plurality of depths within the volume in response to interactions of the directed pulsed beam at the plurality of depths. A processor performs range gating of the plurality of backscattered beams to obtain a depth profile of backscattered intensity within the volume and estimates a material composition at different depths of the volume from the generated depth profile.

Abstract: Various aspects and examples are directed to methods and systems for interpolation in systems that execute non-linear quantization routines. Particular aspects of the methods described herein include a method of detecting a Radar Cross Section (RCS) and a method of detecting patient injuries. In one example, a method of detecting RCS includes receiving a sequence of samples at a re-visit rate of a radar antenna, the sequence of samples being based on electromagnetic energy reflected from a target, interpolating a model curve to the sequence of samples, where each sample of the sequence of samples geometrically increases in value relative to a previous sample of the sequence of samples, comparing the model curve to a calibrated curve and determining a shift between the model curve and the calibrated curve based on the comparison, and detecting a RCS based on the shift between the model curve and the calibrated curve.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a stand-off interrogation system having an ultra-fast X-ray source (incoherent and/or X-ray laser) with an ultra-short pulse emission to irradiate a target material behind a barrier. In one embodiment, the target material is an explosive material in a container. The composition of the target material is directly determined from the detected elemental differential back-scattering signatures.
