Direct-detection LADAR Systems
Direct-detection LADAR Systems by Richard D. Richmond, published by SPIE Press in 2010, is a comprehensive resource designed for engineers-in-training. This edition spans 139 pages and is presented in English, focusing on the fundamental concepts and operations of 3D imaging LADAR systems. The text delves into various topics, including laser range equations, noise sources in LADAR signals, and the impact of wavefront propagation through optical systems and atmospheric turbulence.
Readers will find detailed discussions on algorithms for detecting, ranging, and tracking targets, along with comprehensive system simulations. Each chapter concludes with exercises that enable students to apply the concepts learned to practical problems faced by LADAR engineers. Additionally, this edition includes a CD-ROM containing MATLAB code for the examples presented, enhancing the learning experience for those interested in technology and engineering, particularly in the fields of radar and remote sensing.
Official synopsis Publisher
This text is designed to introduce engineers-in-training to the basic concepts and operation of 3D imaging LADAR systems. The book covers laser range equations; sources of noise in LADAR signals; LADAR waveforms; the effects of wavefront propagation on LADAR beams through optical systems and atmospheric turbulence; algorithms for detecting, ranging, and tracking targets; and comprehensive system simulation. Computer code for accomplishing the many examples appearing throughout the text is provided. Exercises appear at the end of each chapter, allowing students to apply concepts studied throughout the text to fundamental problems encountered by LADAR engineers. Also included is a CD-ROM with the MATLAB code from the examples.
