Abstract:
In this article we described common problems encountered by various researchers when synthesizing recognition systems based on laser range profile, developed for non-cooperative vehicle recognition. Proven approaches to tackling the problems are also considered. The contemporary level of the technology and guidelines for developing the recognition systems are discussed. Based on the research results combined, it is concluded that such systems are not only feasible, but also in demand.

Keywords:
backscattering, range profile, laser, laser sensor, recognition, lidar.
