Abstract
A plurality of scattered laser pulses is received, each scattered laser pulse associated with at least one plurality of respective dwells. A set of 3D velocity information is received, which is derived from photo events detected in information associated with the received plurality of scattered laser pulses. Each dwell in the plurality of dwells is associated with one or more photo events. The 3D velocity information includes information estimating each respective photo event's respective position in 6D space during the respective dwell associated with the photo event. For each dwell, its respective photo events are projected into a common reference frame, determined based on the 3D velocity information, to generate a set of motion-compensated point clouds. Each respective motion-compensated point cloud, for each dwell, is registered to the other motion-compensated point clouds in the set, to generate a set of registered point clouds, which are merged into a volumetric image.
