Abstract
A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for detecting an object relative to a vehicle. A projected component of a laser radiation is emitted as a set of laser beams into an atmosphere from a vehicle. A backscatter light generated in response to said emitting the laser beam into the atmosphere is received to form a received backscatter light. The received backscatter light is filtered using a tunable optical filter system to form a filtered backscatter light. A control component derived from the laser radiation is filtered using the tunable optical filter system to form a filtered reference light. A set of parameters relating a presence of the object relative to the vehicle is determined using the filtered backscatter light and the filtered reference light.
