Abstract

A TOF type LADAR is utilized for unmanned systems(UGV, UAV, USV, etc.), precision digital elevation maps, and electronic fences. Electronical and optical signal processing techniques are melted in LADAR sensor systems. In this study important factors are examined for high reliability sensor development. By considering those factors, hardwares and softwares of a test LADAR is developed and tested, We report the practical design tips, test results, and future works for better LADAR system development.
