Abstract
An improved imaging light detection and ranging (lidar) system is presented which provides variable time delay range gating across a selected image. Variable time delay range gating across an image is accomplished using a plurality of imaging cameras which are individually triggered after preselected delays to obtain multiple subimages. These multiple subimages are then put together in a mosaic in a computer to provide a complete image of a target plane using only one light pulse.
