Sub-Footprint Effect Correction in FW-LiDAR Point Clouds via Intra-Footprint Target Unmixing

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2605.09845v1 Announce Type: new Sub-footprint target mixing within a laser footprint significantly increases LiDAR intensity uncertainty, especially in complex environments where heterogeneous materials inside one footprint cause nonlinear distortions that impair intensity-based applications. However, the forward mixing inherent to the single-pixel detection mode of LiDAR systems blurs sub-footprint contributions, making sub-footprint effects difficult to address effectively in existing studies. To address this issue, we
