Overview of range gated imaging at FOI

This presentation will review some of the work on range gated imaging undertaken at the Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI). Different kind of systems covering the visible to 1.5 μm region have been studied and image examples from various field campaigns will be given. Example of potential applications will be discussed.
