A method and apparatus are provided for imaging three-dimensional scenes
and objects by detecting reflections from emitted sequences of
electromagnetic radiation. At least one transmitter is provided for
emitting a sequence of electromagnetic radiation, and at least three
sensors are provided for detecting radiation reflected from the scene and
objects being imaged. Signals based on the detected radiation are used,
together with spatial information of the transmitters and sensors, to
calculate reflectivity coefficients for points of interest in the scene.
Velocity vectors associated with moving objects within the scene can also
be determined based on the rate of change of the phase differences
between the emitted and reflected radiations.
