Flash light detection and ranging range accuracy limits for returns from single opaque surfaces via Cramer-Rao bounds.

Sílvia Regina Ferreira · Applied Optics · 2006

Summary

A Cramer-Rao lower bound on the range accuracy obtainable by a Flash light detection and ranging (LADAR) system receiving a return from a single surface in the instantaneous field of view of each detector is developed and verified with experimental data.
