Abstract
An imaging lidar apparatus for detecting and imaging an object enveloped by a backscattering medium which is at least partially transmitting to light is presented. The imaging lidar apparatus is mounted on an airborne platform and including light pulse generating means, reflected light pulse detection means and computer control means. A discrete vehicle is towed by a cable connected to the airborne platform. The discrete vehicle houses optics for receiving or transmitting light pulses. Fiber optic communication may be used to transmit the light pulses along the cable between the airborne platform and the towed vehicle.
