چکیده
This paper reviews the progress of Advanced Scientific Concepts, Inc (ASC). flash ladar 3-D imaging systems and presents their newest single-pulse 128 x 128 flash ladar 3-D images. The heart of the system, a multifunction ROIC based upon both analog and digital processing, is described. Of particular interest is the obscuration penetration function, which is illustrated with a series of images. An image tube-based low-laser-signal 3-D FPA is also presented. A small-size handheld working version of the 3-D camera is illustrated which uses an InGaAs lensed PIN detector array indium bump bonded to the ROIC.

3-D Imaging of Partly Concealed Targets by Laser Radar
Imaging laser radar can provide the capability of high resolution 3-D imaging at long ranges. In contrast to conventional passive imaging systems, such as CCD and infrared (IR) techniques, laser radar provides both intensity and range information which adds an extra dimension to the image. Furthermore, laser radar has the ability to penetrate sparse obstructions, such as foliage and camouflage ...

متن کامل3-D measurements from imaging laser radars: how good are they?
In this paper we analyse a class of imaging range finders amplitude-modulated continuous-wave laser radars in the context of computer vision and robotics. The analysis develops measurement models from the fundamental principles of laser radar operation, and identifies the nature and cause of key problems that affect measurements from this class of sensors. We classify the problems as fundamenta...
متن کاملThree-dimensional imaging laser radar with a photon-counting avalanche photodiode array and microchip laser.
We have developed a threedimensional imaging laser radar featuring 3-cm range resolution and single-photon sensitivity. This prototype direct-detection laser radar employs compact, all-solid-state technology for the laser and detector array. The source is a Nd:YAG microchip laser that is diode pumped, passively Q-switched, and frequency doubled. The detector is a gated, passively quenched, two-...
