Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of photoelectric measurement, in particular to a multi-channel laser echo time measurement system based on an FPGA chip. Background technique [0002] Array laser three-dimensional imaging uses array detectors to simultaneously sample multiple points of the target, which has the advantages of high measurement data rate and fast measurement speed, and can avoid target distortion caused by scanning when single-point detectors are used, and better maintain the target structural features. At present, the signal processing technology of single-point detectors is relatively mature, and various methods such as analog method and digital method can be used to obtain high-precision target distance information. However, in the case of array detection, due to the sharp increase in the number of detector pixels, simply duplicating the signal processing process of a single-point detector will greatly increase the system ...
