Abstract
During the receiving and emitting of lasers in laser imaging, the interactions among atmosphere, targets, and the lasers, namely, the atmospheric and target modulations of the lasers, directly influence the waveform characteristics of the targeted laser echoes. As a result, various subsequent processes such as information and data acquisition, data processing, image generation, feature extraction, classification and recognition are directly or indirectly influenced. By taking the mechanism of the target detection based on a laser imaging system as the object, this chapter explores the atmospheric and target modulations of lasers. This chapter mainly studies the concepts and characteristics of the atmospheric and target modulations of lasers, the characteristics of the energy and signal modulations, and the influences of the atmospheric and target modulations.
