Abstract

Three-dimensional super-resolution range-gated imaging has been developed for high-resolution 3D remote sensing with two range-intensity correlation algorithms under specific shapes of range-intensity profiles (RIP). However, pulsed lasers have a minimum pulse width which limits range resolution improvement. Here a spatial difference shaping method is proposed to break the resolution limitation. This method establishes a shaping filter, and the pre-reshaping gate images are reshaped by spatial difference and yield new gate images with the laser pulse width equivalently narrowed as half value which improves the range resolution. Furthermore, the boundary blurring caused by non-rectangular laser pulses are also eliminated.
