Abstract
Aspects of the present invention include a system and method for differentiating a plurality of objects detected behind an opaque surface, including, a plurality of sensors, controlled by one or more processors, configured to collect in parallel, sensor data of the plurality of objects behind an opaque surface, the one or more processors are configured to analyze the sensor data to identify estimated regions of the plurality of objects behind the opaque surface, the one or more processors are further configured to differentiate the estimated regions of the plurality of objects behind the opaque surface, and, the one or more processors are further configured to inform a user, via a user interface, of the plurality of objects within the estimated regions behind the opaque surface.

A system for differentiating a plurality of objects detected behind an opaque surface, comprising:
- a plurality of sensors, controlled by one or more processors, configured to collect in parallel, sensor data of the plurality of objects behind an opaque surface;
- the one or more processors are configured to analyze the sensor data to identify estimated regions of the plurality of objects behind the opaque surface,
- wherein the plurality of sensors comprise at least a first set of sensors configured to detect a first type of material and a second set of sensors configured to detect a second type of material, and wherein the estimated regions include a first estimated region of the first type of material and a second estimated region of the second type of material;
- the one or more processors are further configured to differentiate the estimated regions of the plurality of objects behind the opaque surface;
- and
- the one or more processors are further configured to inform a user, via a user interface, of the plurality of objects within the estimated regions behind the opaque surface.
A method for differentiating a plurality of objects detected behind an opaque surface, comprising:
- collecting, in parallel, sensor data of the plurality of objects behind an opaque surface, by a plurality of sensors controlled by one or more processors;
- analyzing, by the one or more processors, the sensor data to identify estimated regions of the plurality of objects behind the opaque surface,
- wherein the plurality of sensors comprise at least a first set of sensors configured to detect a first type of material and a second set of sensors configured to detect a second type of material, and wherein the estimated regions include a first estimated region of the first type of material and a second estimated region of the second type of material;
- differentiating, by the one or more processors, the estimated regions of the plurality of objects behind the opaque surface;
- and
- informing a user, by the one or more processors via a user interface, of the plurality of objects within the estimated regions behind the opaque surface.
