Title: Pedro J. Sanchez-Reyes and Foliage-Penetrating LiDAR
Introduction
Pedro J. Sanchez-Reyes is an inventor associated with Herndon, Virginia, and Exelis Inc. His work includes a patented method for identifying terrain beneath foliage using airborne LiDAR data.
Latest Patents
Sanchez-Reyes is credited with 1 patent, titled “Foliage Penetration Based on 4D LiDAR Datasets.” The method receives three-dimensional point-cloud data collected from an airborne platform, where foliage obscures the terrain or other object of interest. It reformats the data into a one-dimensional signal and applies a wavelet transform to decompose that signal. The resulting signal is reconstructed as a low-pass-filtered profile, which the method classifies as terrain, such as natural terrain or a ground profile.
Career Highlights
The patent describes a signal-processing approach to detecting terrain through foliage. By transforming and filtering LiDAR point-cloud data, the method aims to distinguish the ground profile from vegetation that obscures it.
Collaborations
Sanchez-Reyes’s listed coworkers include Javier Mendez-Rodriguez and Gabriel Maladonado-Diaz. The available information identifies these professional associations but does not specify their roles in the patent.
Conclusion
Pedro J. Sanchez-Reyes’s patented LiDAR method applies wavelet-based signal processing to help identify terrain beneath foliage, reflecting his contribution to airborne sensing and terrain detection.
