Abstract

This paper utilizes the idea of theoretical analysis to introduce a method for echo characteristics in remote detection with the pulse LiDAR of aerial targets under atmospheric conditions. A Missiles and an aircraft are selected as simulation targets. The relation among mutual mapping of target surface elements can be directly gained by setting light source and target parameters. We discuss influences on atmospheric transport conditions, target shapes and detection conditions on echo characteristics. Atmospheric transport model is introduced as weather conditions, including sunny and cloudy days, with or without turbulence. Simulation results conclude that the outline of scanned waveform can invert the target shape. These provide a theoretical basis for improving the target detection and tracking performance.
