Claim 10:
11. A method for differentiating a plurality of objects detected behind an opaque surface, comprising:
collecting, by a plurality of sensors of a scanner, sensor data of the plurality of objects behind an opaque surface in parallel along a scan path of the scanner;
identifying, by one or more processors of the scanner, signal strengths detected by the plurality of sensors using the sensor data, wherein the signal strengths detected include combined signal strengths of a plurality of different types of objects;
analyzing, by the one or more processors, the signal strengths detected by the plurality of sensors to differentiate a plurality of estimated regions of the plurality of objects behind the opaque surface, wherein the plurality of estimated regions include estimated regions for the plurality of different types of objects;
indicating, by the one or more processors, proximity of the plurality of different types of objects using the estimated regions, and
informing a user, by the one or more processors via a user interface of the scanner, of the plurality of estimated regions of the plurality of different types of objects behind the opaque surface.
