This paper describes the development of a high resolution waveform recording laser scanner and presents results obtained with the system. When collecting 3-D data on small objects, high range and transverse resolution is needed. In particular, if the objects are partly occluded by sparse materials such as vegetation, multiple returns from a single laser pulse may limit the image quality. The ability to resolve multiple echoes depends mainly on the laser pulse width and the receiver bandwidth. With the purpose to achieve high range resolution for multiple returns, we have developed a high performance 3-D LIDAR, called HiPer, with a short pulse fibre laser (500 ps), fast detectors (70 ps rise time) and a 20 GS/s oscilloscope for fast sampling. HiPer can acquire the full waveform, which can be used for off-line processing. This paper will describe the LIDAR system and present some image examples. The signal processing will also be described, with some examples from the off-line processing and the benefit of using the complete waveform.

As a part of the Swedish mine detection project MOMS, an initial field trial was conducted at the Swedish EOD and Demining Centre (SWEDEC). The purpose was to collect data on surface-laid mines, UXO, submunitions, IED's, and background with a variety of optical sensors, for further use in the project. Three terrain types were covered: forest, gravel road, and an area which had recovered after total removal of all vegetation some years before. The sensors used in the field trial included UV, VIS, and NIR sensors as well as thermal, multi-spectral, and hyper-spectral sensors, 3-D laser radar and polarization sensors. Some of the sensors were mounted on an aerial work platform, while others were placed on tripods on the ground. This paper describes the field trial and the presents some initial results obtained from the subsequent analysis.
