Abstract

This paper gives new insights on Laser Range Profiling. In this paper we explore the advantages of Laser Range Profiling or High Temporal Resolution Ladar (Laser Detection and Ranging) to identify objects at long ranges with high probability. In the first part of the paper, we explain the concept of Laser Range Profiling. In the second part of the paper, we focus on the electromagnetic simulation of laser range profiles of different objects. In the third part of the paper, we study the identification function of the system, and describe an algorithm which correlates the measured signatures of the unknown object with the closest range profile related to the aspect angles of the object in the database.
