| Abstract: | We present the results of using a photon-eounting full-waveform lidar to obtain detailed target information with high accuracy.The parameters of the waveforms(i.e.,vertical structure,peak position,peak amplitude,peak width and backscatter cross section)are derived with a high resolution limit of 31 mm to establish the vertical structure and scattering properties of targets,which contribute to the recognition and classification of various scatterers.The photon-counting full-waveform lidar has higher resolution than linear-mode full-waveform lidar,and it can obtain more specific target information compared to photon-counting discrete-point lidar,which can provide a potential alternative technique for tomographic surveying and mapping. |
