| Abstract | ||||
| LIDAR technology has applications in many different fields like geography, geology, geomantic, archaeology, seismology, atmospheric physics, and optical remote sensing technology. A LIDAR model for submerged target detection is presented which allows the user to identify and localize the presence of underwater targets which have measurable light reflectance. The main idea of the simulation code is to collect the different powers received from many round trip travel times at successive scanning beams which enable the identification of the target in specified working region. Absorption, scattering, and backscattering of light in different media through which light propagates were taken into consideration to achieve the accurate values of the received power from different target shapes which expresses the real conditions. | ||||
