[0002] With the rapid development of radar detection technology, radar detection is used in more and more detection scenarios. At present, most existing radar detection systems use lasers as light sources. At present, in urban areas with concentrated populations, high-power lasers are large in size and expensive in price, and have not been fully applied in cities.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present application provides a measurement method for an optical radar based on pseudo-random modulation, which is applied to an LED optical radar system. The LED optical radar system includes an LED light source and a photon counter. The method includes:
[0045] Determine the target pseudo-random code;
[0046] Modulate the LED beam generated by the LED light source based on the target pseudo-random code to obtain a modulated beam, and emit the modulated beam;
[0047] Receive the backscattered light of the modulated beam, preprocess the backscattered light, and convert the preprocessed backscattered light into an electrical signal;
[0048] Use a photon counter to perform high-speed integration operation compensation processing on the electrical signal;
[0049] Demodulate the electrical signal, and calculate the aerosol extinction coefficient in the environment to be measured according to the demodulation result.
[0050] In this embodiment, the aerosol extinction coefficient can reflect the optical characteristics in the environment to be measured.
[0051] In the above measurement method for an optical radar based on pseudo-random modulation, by using the target pseudo-random code to adjust the LED beam, the influence of optical noise can be reduced, so that the LED optical radar system is suitable for daytime use; on this basis, by using high-speed integration operation to compensate for the influence of the coding length of the target pseudo-random code on the spatial resolution, the detection accuracy of the LED optical radar system can be improved.
[0052] Optionally, determining the target pseudo-random code includes:
[0053] Determine the length of the target pseudo-random code according to the clock signal of the photon counter, and generate the target pseudo-random code based on the length.
[0054] In this optional implementation manner, when determining the length of the target pseudo-random code according to the clock signal of the photon counter, the purpose is to make the target pseudo-random code synchronized with the clock signal of the photon counter. In this way, a target pseudo-random code with a suitable length can be determined, avoiding the influence on the detection accuracy caused by the target pseudo-random code being too long or too short.

[0056] Adjust the overlap rate between the diffusion of the LED beam generated by the LED light source and the field of view of the receiver at a distance of 100 - 200 meters to be higher than a preset overlap rate threshold.
[0057] It should be noted that due to the LED collimation error, in this embodiment, by adjusting the overlap rate between the diffusion of the LED beam generated by the LED light source and the field of view of the receiver at a distance of 100 - 200 meters to be higher than a preset overlap rate threshold, the LED light source can be calibrated to minimize the power loss problem of the LED light source caused by beam diffusion, and avoid the problem of poor directivity of the LED affecting the detection accuracy.

[0059] Obtain the environmental factors in the environment to be measured;
[0060] Calculate the aerosol extinction coefficient in the environment to be measured according to the environmental factors and the demodulation result;
[0061] Wherein, the environmental factors include the atmospheric humidity and the atmospheric particle concentration of the environment to be measured.
[0062] It should be noted that both the atmospheric humidity and the atmospheric particle concentration in the environment are factors affecting the atmospheric aerosol optical properties. Therefore, the atmospheric humidity and the atmospheric particle concentration in the environment may affect the extinction coefficient. In this embodiment, the influences of the atmospheric humidity and the atmospheric particle concentration of the environment to be measured are fully considered, and impurities in the backscattered light are filtered according to the atmospheric humidity and the atmospheric particle concentration of the environment to be measured, which can facilitate more accurate measurement of the extinction coefficient of the environment.
[0063] Specifically, in one example, when calculating the aerosol extinction coefficient in the environment to be measured according to the environmental factors and the demodulation result, the following calculation relationship can be satisfied:
[0064]

The second end of capacitor C4 is connected to the second end of resistor R8, the second end of resistor R10, and the positive pole of diode D2. The collector of transistor T4 is connected to the negative pole of diode D2, the second end of resistor R11, the first end of capacitor C6, the base of transistor T5, the first end of resistor R13, and the first end of resistor R14;

[0072] Among them, the output terminal of the pseudo-random code generator is connected to the base of the transistor T5 in the drive circuit through a digital-to-analog conversion module.
[0073] In this embodiment, the first terminal of resistor R1 is further connected to a +10V power supply, and the second terminal of resistor R9 is further connected to a -6V power supply.
[0074] It should be understood that the above drive circuit includes three partial functions: pulse generation, reference signal separation, and current drive. A high-frequency oscillation signal is generated through the circuit composed of resistors R1 to R11, capacitors C1 to C4, and transistors T1 to T4. The circuit composed of capacitor C6 to the first output terminal is used for signal shunting.

Among them, the output terminal of the pseudo-random code generator is connected to the base of the transistor T5 in the drive circuit through a digital-to-analog conversion module, which can achieve the purpose of modulation according to the pseudo-random code, with a simple structure and easy to implement.
[0075] It is worth emphasizing that in the prior art, the period of the drive circuit is relatively long, which will affect the accuracy of the measurement results.

[0076] It should be noted that the photon counter includes a high-speed integral operation unit, and the high-speed integral operation unit is used for high-speed integral operation compensation processing of the electrical signal.
[0077] It should be noted that when the length of the target pseudo-random code is too long, resulting in lag, through high-speed integral operation compensation processing, the lag situation can be significantly improved, and further eliminate the adverse effects brought by the too long length of the target pseudo-random code.
[0078] Optionally, the LED lidar system further includes a scanning stage, the LED light source is disposed on the scanning stage, and the method further includes:

In this optional embodiment, in order to achieve continuous measurement in multiple directions, by controlling the scanning stage to move according to a preset trajectory to adjust the modulated light beam emitted by the LED light source at different positions on the preset trajectory, in this way, continuous measurement in multiple directions can be achieved.
[0082] Specifically, determining the angular velocity based on the resolution of the LED light source and the integration time of the photon counter, including but not limited to the moving time, the moving angle, and the moving direction, can ensure the accuracy in continuous measurement in multiple directions, and avoid the situation of untimely signal reception and out-of-sync caused by changing the angle or the direction.
[0083] Optionally, it should be noted that the detection of the LED lidar is affected by pulse width, frequency, photon counter resolution, pseudo-random code modulation coding length, receiver integration times, etc. In a preferred embodiment, numerical analysis methods can also be used to optimize the parameter configuration of the system to improve the measurement accuracy, such as optimizing the length of the pseudo-random code or the coding displacement.
