Abstract

In one example, there is provided a method for processing data associated with inspection of cargo with an inspection system, the inspection system including a radiation source configured to emit a plurality N of successive pulses irradiating the cargo at a frequency, and a matrix detector including a first column p1 of detectors and at least one second column p2 of detectors. The method includes obtaining data associated with a scanning of at least one part of the cargo with a current frequency fn, wherein the scanning includes displacing the cargo and the system with a relative scanning displacement; determining a pace δ, at a predetermined instant t; and determining whether the determined pace δ is reliable. If the pace is reliable, the current frequency is updated.
