An improved explosive detection system is configured to determine bag contour data from a pre-scan x-ray "ground truth" image of a bag that rests within a container. The bag contour data may be used to restrict a subsequent main x-ray scan to the bag and its contents. The bag contour data is determined by calculating probability distributions "P(I)Tub, r/L" for the intensity values "I" and probability distributions "P(E)Tub, r/L" for the entropy values "E" of each pixel of the "ground truth" image. The "ground truth" intensity and entropy probability distribution data can be used to create one or more "ground truth" histograms. Based on a comparison of these one or more "ground truth" histograms with the one or more statistical model histograms, the "tub" pixels can be extracted (e.g., subtracted) from the "ground truth" image.
