Abstract

Systems and processes for increasing the effective sampling density of a LADAR data set are disclosed. LADAR data points are merged with data regarding edges of objects within the physical space represented by the LADAR data points to form a merged LADAR-edge point cloud. Each data point within the merged LADAR-edge point cloud is examined to identify co-planar neighboring data points within a defined search area. Additional data points are added to the LADAR-edge point cloud by interpolating between the identified, co-planar neighboring data points.
