Research abstract
"Image processing techniques derived from Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) are applied to ladar range images to resolve occlded targets. One approach will use model-driven anisotropic diffusion to replace an occluded area with the maximum a priorisurface that is derived from the observable portions of the image. A second approach will align multiple ladar range images taken from different viewpoints and form a 3D surface from the combined data."
