Abstract: A system for scanning an object 112 is provided. The system includes a continuous conveyor belt 102, a first electromagnetic radiation sensor 104, a second electromagnetic radiation sensor, a tunnel 106, an electromagnetic radiation generator 108, a third electromagnetic radiation sensor, a fourth electromagnetic radiation sensor 110 and a processor. The continuous conveyor belt 102 receives the object 112 and moves the object 112 in forward direction. The first electromagnetic radiation sensor scans the object 112 that is travelling through the continuous conveyor belt 102. The tunnel 106 receives the object 112 from the continuous conveyor belt 102 after scanned through the first electromagnetic radiation sensor 104. The second electromagnetic radiation sensor is positioned inside the tunnel 106 at entry point. The electromagnetic radiation generator 108 receives a second signal from the second electromagnetic radiation sensor to generate an angular beam of electromagnetic radiation on the object 112.

Abstract: An under vehicle scanning system that detects a dissimilar object in a vehicle is provided. The under vehicle scanning system includes a scanner and acquisition module that captures 3D images of an undercarriage of the vehicle at multiple instants, an analysis and processing module that processes the 3D images to obtain 3D profiles of the vehicle, and a display module that highlights the dissimilar object. The analysis and processing module is configured to: (a) normalize variations in orientation of the 3D profiles of the vehicle's undercarriage, (b) generate a 3D signature of the vehicle based on the normalized 3D profiles of the vehicle's undercarriage, (c) identify a model of the vehicle based on the 3D signature of the vehicle, and (d) compare the 3D profiles of the vehicle with a standard profile of the undercarriage of a same model vehicle using the 3D signature to detect the dissimilar object.
