Abstract: This work presents the simulation results demonstrating the successful application of single-pixel imaging for the reconstruction of three-dimensional object images, in combination with LIDAR technologies. Specifically, the integration of pulsed radiation-based Time of Flight (ToF) and Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) LIDAR methods is explored. In the case of ToF, the simulations reveal enhanced accuracy in distinguishing distances between objects that are smaller than the distance light travels in half the duration of the scanning pulse. These findings highlight the potential of single-pixel imaging in advanced 3D visualization and distance measurement applications.

Keywords: single pixel camera, 3d visualisation, time of flight LIDAR, frequency-modulated continious vawe LIDAR.
