Abstract

The invention discloses a system and a method for correction of distance walking error of a photon counting three-dimensional imaging laser radar. Firstly, distance walking errors of a photon counting three-dimensional imaging laser radar are demarcated with multiple points to obtain the distance running errors under different laser pulse response ratios. Then, a manner of the mathematical fit is adopted to obtain the function of the distance walking errors about the laser pulse response ratios, and the function of the distance walking errors is recorded as a distance running error function. Finally, during the working process of the photon counting three-dimensional imaging laser radar, distributions of the laser pulse response ratios of the original three-dimensional distance images are counted, and the function of the distance walking error function is adopted to forecast the distance walking errors and correct the original three-dimensional distance image using compensation so as to obtain the corrected three-dimensional distance images. The photon counting three-dimensional imaging laser radar distance walking error correction system and the method are capable of eliminating the distance walking errors.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to optics, laser radar and image processing technologies, in particular to a photon counting three-dimensional imaging laser radar distance travel error correction system and method. Background technique [0002] The distance map uses a three-dimensional image mode to describe the region of interest. The data cube contains the geometric invariant characteristics of the target, which can avoid distortion and confusion in the two-dimensional image. It is widely used in industrial mold design, military target automatic recognition and other fields. Several technical approaches are currently known for obtaining range images. Among them, the photon-counting three-dimensional laser imaging radar uses an avalanche diode with single-photon sensitivity and works in Geiger mode as the photon detector of the laser echo signal, and realizes high time-resolution measurement in the photon flight mode. Perform multi-pulse repeated measurements ...
