A laser dynamic range imager is like a fancy camera that can see in 3D.
Imagine if you put a toy dinosaur far away from you, you can see it with your eyes because it reflects light. But if you close one eye and try to touch the dinosaur, you might not know how far away it is or even where it is exactly.
Laser dynamic range imager uses lasers like flashlights to light up the dinosaur and create a 3D picture of it. The laser sends out a beam of light that hits the dinosaur and bounces back to the camera. By timing how long it takes for the light to come back, the camera can calculate how far away the dinosaur is.
It's like playing catch with a friend. You throw a ball and wait until it comes back to you. The longer it takes to come back, the farther away your friend is.
The laser dynamic range imager can also see things in the dark or through fog because the laser can penetrate through things that normal light cannot. It's like a secret flashlight that can show hidden things.
So, in short, laser dynamic range imager is a camera that uses lasers instead of regular light to make 3D images and can see things in the dark or through obstacles.
