  • Patent number: 12044635
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for classifying and/or identifying materials by means of their spectral response to gamma radiation. Classification is carried out by irradiating multiple different samples with gamma radiation, detecting a spectral response in the backscatter direction, sorting the spectral response into energy bands and selecting a combination of energy bands to define a relationship that best distinguishes between clusters of spectral responses for different material classes. Two or more of the energy bands may overlap.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 13, 2020
    Date of Patent: July 23, 2024
    Assignee: BAE SYSTEMS PLC
    Inventors: Lionel William John Kent, Jason John Lepley
  • Patent number: 12008805
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for detecting a modulating element of an object are described in which signal values are obtained from one or more optical detectors. A determination is made if there is a time dependent variation in the obtained signal values at the one or more optical detector and a modulating element is detected based on the determination.

  • Publication number: 20220299642
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for detecting a modulating element of an object in a scene are described in which an element in a scene is illuminated with a modulated light source. A signal is obtained from an optical detector based on light received from the illuminated element. An intermediate frequency signal is detected from the signal obtained from the optical detector, the intermediate frequency signal being related to a frequency of the modulated light source and a frequency of modulation of the element within the scene. The modulating element is detected based on the intermediate frequency signal.
