Zusammenfassung:A technique to ascertain the presence or absence of an object in a three-dimensional volume, such as explosives in the side walls of luggage. The technique involves radiation scanning the three-dimensional volume to determine a property of each of a plurality of voxels representing the three-dimensional volume and to identify voxels having similar values of the property to identify a contiguous group of voxels having the similar values. Then, the contiguous group of voxels is identified as containing the object if a characteristic (such as mass and/or volume) of the contiguous group has a predetermined value.
