Abstract

The acquisition of detection information is considered as the basic function of the target detection based on a laser imaging system. It is designed to obtain relevant information for generating laser images and therefore realizing target detection and provide all kinds of data needed. The acquisition of detection information includes target sampling, beam scanning, echo detection, echo processing, delay and intensity measurement, waveform acquisition, collection of orientation and positioning data, synchronous labeling, storage and record of data, and so on. Among them, target sampling and beam scanning play the important roles in effectively acquiring information. In this chapter, the author states the basic theories of the acquisition of detection information for the target detection based on laser imaging system designed by the author.
