Zusammenfassung:Methods and systems for efficiently and accurately detecting and identifying concealed materials. The system includes an analysis subsystem configured to process a number of pixelated images, the number of pixelated images obtained by repeatedly illuminating, through a patterning component, regions, where an electromagnetic radiation source, from a number of electromagnetic radiation sources, illuminates the patterning component, each repetition performed with a different wavelength. A number of Global pixelated images are obtained. The number of global pixelated images, after processing, constitute a vector of processed data at each pixel from a number of pixels. At each pixel, the vector of processed data is compared to a predetermined vector corresponding to a predetermined material, presence of the predetermined material being determined by the comparison.
