Abstract :
This paper deals with modeling of new optical non-conventional imaging with laser systems. In this paper, we present the simulation of the 3D ladar sensor including physics based modeling of laser backscattering from complex rough targets, reflectance modeling of porous occluders, development of 3D scenes and reconstruction algorithms for identification. We shall focus on tomography algorithms for reconstructing optical three-dimensional scenes.
