Abstract
The laser has been used for many years for range or distance measurement. Laser technology has produced very accurate measurements in many applications including precise machine processing and quality control functions. The addition of optics to broaden the laser beam for illumination, a video camera for area imaging, an intensifier for gating, and control electronics for timing forms the basic laser illuminated range gated video system. This unique technology can be exploited for unique imaging solutions. This paper explores the intensified gated CCD video camera as applied to the technology of laser illuminated range gated video.
