System and Method for Synthetically Filling Ladar Frames Based on Prior Ladar Return Data

Systems and methods are disclosed where a ladar system synthetically fills a ladar frame. A ladar transmitter can employ compressive sensing to interrogate a subset of range points in a field of view. Returns from this subset of range points correspond to a sparse ladar frame, and interpolation can...

Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods are disclosed where a ladar system synthetically fills a ladar frame. A ladar transmitter can employ compressive sensing to interrogate a subset of range points in a field of view. Returns from this subset of range points correspond to a sparse ladar frame, and interpolation can be performed on these returns to synthetically fill the ladar frame.
