Abstract

This paper presents a new Bayesian algorithm for the robust reconstruction of multispectral single-photon Lidar data ac- quired in extreme conditions. We focus on imaging through obscurants (i.e., fog, water) leading to high and possibly non-uniform background noise. The proposed hierarchical Bayesian method accounts for multiscale information to pro- vide distribution estimates for the target’s depth and reflec- tivity, i.e., point and uncertainty measures of the estimates to improve decision making. The correlations between variables are enforced using a weighting scheme that allows the incor- poration of guide information available from other sensors or state-of-the-art algorithms. Results on synthetic and real data show improved reconstruction of the scene in extreme conditions when compared to the state-of-the-art algorithms.
