Claim Text:
1. A system for identifying at least one object in a container during an inspection of the container, the system configured to obtain measurements with respect to a recording surface on an exterior surface of the container during the inspection of the container, the system comprising: at least one acoustic source for directing acoustic energy to penetrate at least one surface of the container and at least partially fill the container with acoustic energy during the inspection of the container, a plurality of sensors to detect acoustic energy from the at least one acoustic source affected by the at least one object in the container without contacting the container during the inspection of the container, a processing module to process the detected acoustic energy, the detected surface vibration, and the spatially resolved point scatterers from the sensors to identify and to detect a location of the at least one object in the container,
