Accurate automatic registration and fusion of LADAR (from laser detection and ranging) and EO (electro-optical) data from different sensors provides additional analysis and exploitation value beyond what each data set provides on its own. Such data sets often exhibit significant misregistration due to uncorrelated geometric errors between or among two or more sensors. One or more automatic algorithms achieve superior registration as well as algorithms for fusing the data in three dimensions (3D). The fused data can provide multi-image colorization for change detection, automatic generation of surface relief colorization, interactive and/or automatic filtering of 3D vegetation points for LADAR foliage penetration analysis, automatic surface orientation determination for improved spectroradiometric exploitation, and other benefits that cannot be achieved by the LADAR or EO data alone.
