Abstract
A method includes receiving a plurality of laser pulses as a pulse train on a plurality of imaging sensor pixels in an array of pixels. For each pixel in the array of pixels, the method includes receiving a respective one of the laser pulse trains, and scanning the pixels response across a range of frequencies with a bandpass filter to determine pulse shape characteristics of the respective one of the laser pulse trains. The method includes filtering out all of the laser pulse trains that do not fit a predetermined pulse shape characteristic for a true target designation pulse train, and physically adjusting trajectory of a physical resource toward a target based on location on the imaging sensor of one or more pixels receiving a laser pulse train that fits the predetermined pulse shape characteristic for the true target designation pulse train.
