Three-dimensional laser imaging method based on photon counting compressive sampling phased array

Abstract

The invention provides a three-dimensional laser imaging method based on a photon counting compressive sampling phased array, which is applicable to the fields of all-weather target identification, high-precision terrain survey, precise nondestructive examination and the like, and belongs to the technical field of laser imaging and image processing. The three-dimensional laser imaging method includes steps that at first, a pulse signal generator generates pulse signals and drives a laser device to transmit laser pulse, and a liquid crystal optical phased array is adopted to modulate illuminating laser via a certain measurement matrix so as to illuminate for a target; optical pulse reflected by the target is received by a Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode, a time-correlated single photon counter is used for recording the numbers of photons returned at different time intervals, and the numbers of the photons returned at different time intervals are integrated so as to obtain a measured vector quantity; and the measured matrix and the measured vector quantity are brought into a compressive sampling recovery algorithm, so that a three-dimensional image of the target is reconstructed. The three-dimensional laser imaging method has a good practical value and a wide application prospect in the technical field of laser imaging and digital image processing.
