Abstract

A system, method, and mobile vehicle, identify materials associated with radiation that has been detected. A set of radiation data associated with radiation from at least one radiation source is received from a set of radiation sensors mechanically coupled to the mobile vehicle. At least one histogram is generated based on the set of radiation data. The at least one histogram represents a spectral image of radiation from the radiation source. The at least one histogram is compared to multiple spectral images associated with known materials. The at least one histogram is determined to substantially match at least one of the multiple spectral images. A determination is made as to whether the material is a hazardous material. Personnel are notified that the at least one radiation source is a hazardous material in response to determining that the mateπal associated with the at least one of the multiple spectral images is a hazardous material.
