Modelling and Simulation of Laser Imaging System Based on Linear Array Detection.

A simulator had been developed in the system lever to support high-speed and high-resolution scanning imaging to target. The simulation was implemented by modelling the beam-splitting emitted laser pulse, the optical signals received on the linear array detector cell, different kinds of signal processing algorithms, atmospheric effects, and the bidirectional reflectance distribution function for the reflection properties. The linear array detection principle, imaging scheme based on fixed window imaging to tank target and effect analysis were realized using various parameters in the simulator. Simulation results showed that the linear array detection applied to imaging fuze can produce the simulated 3D range and intensity images with a feature of multiple stripes pattern and effectively avoid a loss of time-efficiency while maintaining an anticipant identification probability.
