ABSTRACT:
This invention discloses a laser imager for imaging a scene having targets comprising a laser scanner operative to scan the scene at a given spacing with a laser beam, a receiver which receives laser light reflected from the scene and determines the range and reflectance of an object reflecting said laser light at various scan positions and control logic which changes the given spacing in response to the determined range.
