Method and apparatus for detecting and/or identifying objects

Abstract

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, creating a first sequence of optical signals based on a first sequence of electrical signals, the first sequence of electrical signals associated with a plurality of matched filters, directing the first sequence of optical signals to a plurality of objects, receiving a second sequence of optical signals based on a reflection of the first sequence of optical signals on the plurality of objects, converting the second sequence optical signals into a second sequence of electrical signals, processing the second sequence of electrical signals according to the plurality of matched filters to extract information associated with the plurality of objects, adjusting the first sequence of electrical signals to a third sequence of electrical signals, adjusting the plurality of matched filters according to the third sequence of electrical signals, generating from the third sequence of the electrical signals an adjusted sequence of optical signals, and directing the adjusted sequence of optical signals to further refine the extract information associated with the plurality of objects. Other embodiments are disclosed.
