Some　problems　in　the　application　of　Ladar　reflective　tomography　for　space　object　recognition　are　studied　in　this　work.　An　analytic　target　model　is　adopted　to　investigate　the　image　reconstruction　properties　with　limited　relative　angle　range,　which　are　useful　to　verify　the　target　shape　from　the　incomplete　image,　analyze　the　shadowing　effect　of　the　target　and　design　the　satellite　payloads　against　recognition　via　reflective　tomography　approach.　We　proposed　an　iterative　maximum　likelihood　method　basing　on　Bayesian　theory,　which　can　effectively　compress　the　pulse　width　and　greatly　improve　the　image　resolution　of　incoherent　LRT　system　without　loss　of　signal　to　noise　ratio.　(C)　2015　Elsevier　B.V.　All　rights　reserved.
