Abstract

A method for operating a laser detection and ranging system. In some embodiments, the method includes transmitting a plurality of laser pulses, each at a respective one of a plurality of pulse transmission times; detecting a plurality of return pulses, each at a respective one of a plurality of return pulse times; forming a first time difference, the first time difference being the difference between a first return pulse time of the plurality of return pulse times and a first pulse transmission time of the plurality of pulse transmission times; and incrementing a first element of a first array, the first element of the first array having an index based on the first time difference.
