Method and system for performing characterization of one or more materials

A method of performing characterization of one or more materials, the method comprising:

• scanning the one or more materials by means of a sensory unit including an x-ray sensor for obtaining at least one x-ray image;
• performing segmentation of the at least one x-ray image in order to separate one or more distinct objects in the at least one x-ray image;
• selecting, in the at least one x-ray image, segmented objects;
• computing, for each of the selected segmented objects in the at least one x-ray image, a transformation using a transformation model, wherein each transformation is indicative of a three dimensional reconstruction of the respective selected segmented object in the at least one x-ray image, wherein the transformation model is configured to transform a two dimensional x-ray image of the segmented object into a three dimensional x-ray image of the segmented object;
• and
• characterizing the selected segmented objects based upon its computed transformation, wherein the characterization of the selected segmented objects based upon its computed transformation is performed by means of a classification model.
