Abstract
Systems and methods described herein are directed to computationally fast and accurate processing of data acquired by a remote imaging system, such as a Light Detection and Ranging system (LIDAR). Example embodiments describe processing of scanned target data based on performing a low-resolution Fourier Transform (FT) of a beat signal that may be a function of distance and/or velocity of objects associated with the scanned target. Various methods described herein can effectively convert the low-resolution FT data into high-resolution frequency domain data that can be used to accurately estimate a frequency of the beat signal. The system may use the beat signal frequency to determine the distance and/or velocity of the corresponding object and generate point-cloud information associated with a three-dimensional image construction of the scanned target.
