Sandia National Laboratories has developed a unique type of portable low-cost range imaging optical radar (laser radar or LADAR). This innovative sensor is comprised of an active floodlight scene illuminator and an image intensified CCD camera receiver. It is a solid-state device (no moving parts) that offers significant size, performance, reliability, and simplicity advantages over other types of 3D imaging sensors. This unique flash LADAR is based on low- cost, commercially available hardware, and is well suited for many government and commercial uses. This paper presents an update of Sandia's development of the Scannerless Range Imager technology and applications, and discusses the progress that has been made in evolving the sensor into a compact, low cost, high-resolution, video rate Laser Dynamic Range Imager.
