Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a ladar system that includes a ladar transmitter, ladar receiver, and camera, where the camera that is co-bore sited with the ladar receiver, the camera configured to generate image data corresponding to a field of view for the ladar receiver. In an example embodiment, a mirror can be included in the optical path between a lens and photodetector in the ladar receiver, where the mirror (1) directs light within the light from the lens that corresponds to a first light spectrum in a first direction for reception by the camera and (2) directs light within the light from the lens that corresponds to a second light spectrum in a second direction for reception by the photodetector, wherein the second light spectrum includes ladar pulse reflections for processing by the ladar system.

Claim (Index 30):
A method comprising:\n targeting a plurality of range points within a field of view by scanning a plurality of mirrors to a plurality of mirror scan positions, wherein the mirror scan positions define the targeting; transmitting a plurality of ladar pulses toward the targeted range points via the scanning mirrors; receiving light at a photodetector, the received light including reflections of the transmitted ladar pulses; co-bore siting a camera and the photodetector with respect to the received light using a mirror positioned optically upstream from the camera and the photodetector; the mirror selectively directing portions of the received light to the camera and the photodetector based on a frequency component of the received light such that the mirror (1) directs received light in a first light spectrum toward the camera and (2) directs received light in a second light spectrum toward the photodetector, wherein the second light spectrum includes a light spectrum corresponding to a plurality of ladar pulse reflections; the camera generating image data based on the received light in the first light spectrum; the photodetector detecting received light in the second light spectrum, wherein the detected light includes a plurality of the ladar pulse reflections; a processor computing range point data based on the detected ladar pulse reflections; and a processor spatially aligning the computed range point data with the generated image data.
