Series of experiments on material recognition were carried out on a real scale prototype of customs inspection system for vehicles and large-scale containers developed by NPK LUTS NIIEFA. The 8 MeV linear electron accelerator operating in 4-8 MeV range dual energy mode was used as a source of radiation. Experimental interlaced images of tested samples and cargo container were processed and visualized by the special software [1]. The special palettes representing integral absorption and Z-characteristics of cargo material were used for visualization. Some images are given.
