Intelligent electronic-optical sensor for information-measurement system of detection and identification of ground and aerodynamic objects

This work describes an original intelligent electronic-optical (laser) sensor (EOS) operating in the infrared range for systems that detect ground and aerodynamic objects and send control commands to the executive devices of portable information-measurement systems using specified algorithms. EOS proposed here differs from the known analogues by its ability of early detection and recognition of high-speed special machinery objects and small-sized unmanned aircrafts. EOS generates and sends probing optical pulses in the direction of a monitored high-speed object, processes the reflected location signal and retrieves the object coordinates and motion parameters. The classification features of the object are determined from the parameters of optical location signal used for object identification with the account the specific nature of optical location information systems.
