摘要: We present a novel method for combining the analog and photon-counting measurements of lidar transient recorders into reconstructed photon returns. The takes account statistical properties two measurement modes estimates most likely number arriving photons values acquisition parameters describing modes. It extends improves standard (“gluing”) methods does not rely on any ad hoc definitions overlap region nor background subtraction methods.
