Analytical function for lidar geometrical compression form-factor calculations

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A simple model of image formation in a Newtonian telescope was used for calculating an analytical formula, that describes the geometric compression form factors of coaxial and biaxial lidars. Calculations were successfully validated by comparison with real measurements, confirming the accuracy of our approach. The need for different alignment of coaxial and biaxial systems to increase the overlap between the lidar emitter and receiver is also discussed.
