Problems solved by technology

[0003] Because of changes in the reflectivity of objects or changes in the measurement distance and other factors, the signal amplitude measured by the photodetector changes. Especially for lidar with a relatively large measurement range, the signal strength measured at short and long distances is bound to be very different. Large fluctuations, which will cause the rising edge of the signal waveform output by the photodetector to be distorted, and the signal will be broadened, which will affect the measurement result of the stop time

[0037] The laser radar is placed in a fixed position, adjust the left and right position and pitch position of the emitting laser point, and keep the laser beam and the measurement target at the discovered position, so that an accurate distance value can be measured. If the laser beam is offset, the measured distance and the actual distance will have a plane or space angle θ. Δ=L-Lsinθ, Δ is the measurement distance error

Abstract

The invention relates to an error correction method for the measuring distance accuracy of a laser radar by a laser radar echo signal and distance. The method comprise the following steps that: a laser radar emits a light pulse and the light pulse is detected and received by a photoelectric detector to obtain a Gaussian signal; a measuring error is corrected according to different signal strengthinformation obtained by different distances; and since the object measuring distances are different, the surface reflectivities of the measured objects are different and the tilt angles of the measures object are different, so that the energy change of the light pulse returning to the optical detector after irradiation on the object surface is affected. A problem that various factors, causing themeasured return power changes, of the object change in the laser radar measurement process and thus the accuracy of the measurement result is affected is solved. With the correction system, the measurement result is closer to the real distance and the measurement accuracy is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a laser radar system, in particular to a compensation system for the laser radar to compensate measurement errors caused by factors such as different distances, different reflectivities, and different reflective surfaces. Background technique [0002] The principle of lidar ranging is to calculate the time elapsed by a pulse optical path multiplied by the speed of light, record a start time when the laser is emitted, and record the stop time when the light detector receives the signal. The returned optical signal outputs an analog signal after passing through the optical detector. The TDC circuit needs to perform time identification. The time identification can be roughly divided into leading edge threshold detection, constant ratio timing detection, zero-crossing detection, peak detection, etc. There are more or less detection errors in these detection methods, which are often referred to as "walking errors". [0003] Because...
