High resolution LADAR (LAser Detection and Ranging) images of scenes containing human forms have been automatically segmented and simple algorithms have been developed for recognizing human forms in various positions in both cluttered and uncluttered scenes. Registration of LADAR and color CCD images is suggested as a method to enhance the ability to segment both types of images.
