Research on the Adaptability of Typical Denoising Algorithms Based on ICESat-2 Data
Photon-counting light detection and ranging (LiDAR) emits and receives weak photon signals, which are easily mixed with background noise caused by the sun, the atmosphere, etc., and is thus difficult to distinguish.

Efficient and Noise Robust Photon-Counting Imaging with First Signal Photon Unit Method
Efficient photon-counting imaging in low signal photon level is challenging, especially when noise is intensive. In this paper, we report a first signal photon unit (FSPU) method to rapidly reconstruct depth image from sparse signal photon counts with ...

Fraunhofer Lidar Prototype in the Green Spectral Region for Atmospheric Boundary Layer Observations
A lidar detects atmospheric parameters by transmitting laser pulse to the atmosphere and receiving the backscattering signals from molecules and aerosol particles. Because of the small backscattering cross section, a lidar usually uses the high sensitive
