The 3-D target information can be obtained directly by the analysis of the 1-D data of the pulse laser range profile (LRP). In this paper, a new calculational method to generate and process the LRP which is based on the lidar equation is established. The LRPs of different targets are simulated by the new method, and the corresponding profile information is achieved. The effect of the some parameters including the target shape, surface material, incident pulsewidth and incident angle on the LRP is analyzed. In order to validate the theory, the relevant experiment is implemented, and the experimental data agrees well with the simulation result.
