Extraction of features from objects in urban areas using space-time analysis of recorded laser pulses

In this paper we describe a simulation system and investigations for analysis of recorded laser pulses. A simulation setup that considers simulated signals of synthetic objects was developed for exploring the capabilities of recognizing urban objects using a laser system. The temporal waveform of each laser pulse is analyzed for gaining the pulse properties: range, pulse power and number of peaks. Considering the received pulse power of the associated spatial neighborhood for the region boundary delivers the estimation of the edge position and edge orientation with sub pixel accuracy.     «
