Abstract
A ladar system can estimate intra-frame motion for an object within a field of view of the ladar system using a tight cluster of ladar pulses. For example, ladar pulses in a cluster can be spaced apart but overlapping with at least one of the other ladar pulses in that cluster at a specified distance in the field of view. A ladar receiver can then process the reflections from the cluster to computer intra-frame motion data, such as intra-frame velocity and intra-frame acceleration for an object.
