Popis: We have developed a multi-spectral SWIR lidar system capable of measuring simultaneous spatial-spectral information for imaging and spectral discrimination through partial obscurations. We employ objects in the presence and absence of a series of obscurants to evaluate the capability of the system in classifying the objects of interest based on spectral and range information. We employ a principal component analysis-based algorithm in classifying the objects and quantifying the accuracy of detection under various obscured scenarios. The merits of multi-spectral lidar over hyperspectral imaging are highlighted for target identification in the presence of obscurants.
