Popis: The stand-off detection classification by laser induced fluorescence is the objective of the Biosense project. The sensor will perform the monitoring of a defined area around its location using an elastic lidar detector for particles cloud. The detection of cloud will trigger fluorescence probing of the cloud. To perform this task the area fluorescence background will be monitored in order to evaluate if a return signal changed. Using a simple signal model built with experimental data, we designed a detection and monitoring procedure for the fluorescence at a single location. Signal simulations have been performed to verify the operation of the system. The results of the simulation indicate the system is able to detect anomaly with small contrast between a signal and the background. The results will have to be extended to area surveillance and a more complete signal model for various environments in natural conditions is required
