Computational agile beam ladar imaging

Arthita Ghosh, Vishal M. Patel, Michael A. Powers

Abstract

A LAser Detection And Ranging (LADAR) apparatus obtains range information from a three dimensional scene by emitting laser beams and collecting the reflected rays from target objects in the region of interest. The Agile Beam LADAR concept makes the measurement and interpretation process more efficient by a software-defined architecture that leverages Computational Imaging principles to this end. Using these techniques, we show that, the process of object identification and scene understanding can be accurately performed in the LADAR measurement domain thereby rendering the efforts of pixel based scene reconstruction superfluous.
