Laser imaging radar has the unique capability to generate 3D images of objects, which is widely used in the civilian and
military fields concerning target detection and identification. The imaging simulation for 3-D laser radar is presented to
help in the design of the future laser radar systems and gauge their performances. Each stage from the laser source to the
3D image generation has been modelled, including the models of the laser emitted pulse, atmospheric effects, reflection
properties of the target surface, discrimination methods and the returned signal. Moreover, the three-dimensional CAD
description of the target is established for imaging simulation. The simulation produces the simulated 3D images for a
pulsed laser radar and allows to understand the influences of the phenomena leading to the final image under a variety of
conditions. Finally, a collection of imaging simulations with one changing parameter at a time is implemented to
illustrate the good possibilities of the simulation.
