Abstract

The invention relates to photon counting laser radar ranging, in particular to a ranging system and method based on dual-channel single-photon detection and two-dimensional cross-correlation, and solves the technical problem that an existing photon counting laser radar system cannot efficiently acquire and measure distance information of a target to be measured under a low signal-to-noise ratio. The system comprises a pulse laser emission unit, a dual-channel single-photon detection unit, a dual-channel time interval measurement unit and a two-dimensional cross-correlation distance estimator. The pulse laser emission unit is used for emitting an emitted light pulse to a to-be-detected target; the dual-channel single-photon detection unit comprises a light receiving assembly and two detectors; two output ends of the dual-channel time interval measurement unit are respectively connected with two input ends of the two-dimensional cross-correlation distance estimator; and the other input end of the two-dimensional cross-correlation distance estimator is used for collecting a system instrument response function group, and the output end of the two-dimensional cross-correlation distance estimator is used for outputting a distance estimation value, so that high-efficiency measurement of the distance of the to-be-measured target under the low signal-to-noise ratio of photon counting is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a photon counting laser radar ranging device and a ranging method thereof, in particular to a ranging system based on dual-channel single-photon detection and two-dimensional cross-correlation and a method for using the ranging system. Background technique [0002] LiDAR performs ranging and imaging of the target scene by emitting a laser beam and detecting the return light intensity and flight time. It has a wide range of application requirements in the fields of remote sensing mapping, automatic driving, aircraft landing collision avoidance, and robot navigation. The rapidly developing photon-counting lidar technology can detect a single photon and measure the moment of arrival of the photon with picosecond-level high time resolution. Distance and three-dimensional information acquisition. [0003] Photon counting lidar generally uses binarized single-photon detectors, which can only distinguish the presence or absence of ph...
