ABSTRACT:
The invention is a method for increasing the resolution of LADAR data. In one embodiment of the invention wherein the LADAR data is generated from a split beam laser signal transmitted at a given elevation scan rate and a given azimuth scan rate, the method includes reducing the elevation scan rate by which the laser signal is transmitted by a factor of n; and reducing the azimuth scan rate by which the laser signal is transmitted by a factor of m; wherein n and m are integers greater than 1.
