Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a distance measurement technology, and in particular to a distance measurement system. Background Art
[0002] A lidar system is a system that measures the distance from the lidar system to the target by illuminating the target with a laser and measuring the flight time required for the laser to return to the lidar system. The lidar system can detect the target when it is within the ranging dynamic range of the lidar system.
[0003] In a lidar system, a higher sampling frequency results in better ranging resolution; and the total number of samples is limited by a given power budget, so a higher sampling frequency results in a narrower ranging dynamic range. Therefore, given the power budget, the sampling frequency can be reduced to achieve a wider ranging dynamic range, trading off the ranging resolution for the ranging dynamic range, but this may result in missing the target (that is, the target is not detected). In addition, fine ranging resolution and wide ranging dynamic range cannot be achieved simultaneously without excessive power consumption. Summary of the invention

[0047] Before the present invention is described in detail, it should be noted that similar components are denoted by the same reference numerals in the following description.
[0048] See also Figure 1 A first embodiment of the ranging system 1 of the present invention is suitable for measuring a distance from the ranging system 1 to a target 2, and includes a source end 11, a feedback detector 12, a reference detector 13, an operator 14 and a controller 15.
[0049] The source 11 generates a broadband incident wave (eg, light, electromagnetic wave or sound), which may be modulated or unmodulated according to application requirements. The incident wave is transmitted to the target 2 and reflected by the target 2 to form a reflected wave.
[0050] The feedback detector 12 is used for detecting the reflected wave to generate a first detection signal.
[0051] The reference detector 13 is used to detect the incident wave to generate a second detection signal.
[0052] In the present embodiment, the source end 11 is a light source end (e.g., a laser) that generates light as the incident wave, and each of the feedback detector 12 and the reference detector 13 is a photoelectric converter (e.g., a photodiode) that converts a corresponding one of the reflected wave and the incident wave into an electrical signal as a corresponding one of the first detection signal and the second detection signal. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
[0053] The operator 14 is electrically connected to the feedback detector 12 and the reference detector 13 to receive the first detection signal and the second detection signal from the feedback detector 12 and the reference detector 13 respectively, and is used to perform the following actions: perform low-pass filtering on the first detection signal and the second detection signal at an adjustable default filtering bandwidth to generate a first filtered signal and a second filtered signal respectively; sample the first filtered signal and the second filtered signal at an adjustable default sampling frequency to generate a feedback signal and a reference signal respectively derived from the first filtered signal and the second filtered signal and corresponding to the reflected wave and the incident wave respectively; and calculate the cross-correlation of the feedback signal and the reference signal corresponding to multiple delay times distributed in a default time zone to generate a cross-correlation result, wherein the default time zone is optionally adjustable.
[0054] The controller 15 is electrically connected to the operator 14, controls the adjustable parameters in the operator 14 (including the default filter bandwidth, the default sampling frequency and the default time zone), and is used to receive an operation output derived from the cross-correlation result from the operator 14, and calculate the distance from the ranging system 1 to the target 2 according to the operation output.
[0055] In this embodiment, the first detection signal and the second detection signal are both simulation signals; and the operator 14 includes a low-pass filter 141 , a sampler 142 and a cross-correlator 143 operating in the simulation domain, and also includes an analog-to-digital converter 144 .
[0056] The low-pass filter 141 has an adjustable filter bandwidth and is electrically connected to the controller 15, and is controlled by the controller 15 in such a manner that the adjustable filter bandwidth is set to the default filter bandwidth. The low-pass filter 141 is also electrically connected to the feedback detector 12 and the reference detector 13 to receive the first detection signal and the second detection signal from the feedback detector 12 and the reference detector 13, respectively, and performs low-pass filtering on the first detection signal and the second detection signal at the default filter bandwidth to generate the first filter signal and the second filter signal, respectively.
[0057] The sampler 142 has an adjustable sampling frequency and is electrically connected to the controller 15, and is controlled by the controller 15 in such a manner that the adjustable sampling frequency is set as the default sampling frequency. The sampler 142 is also electrically connected to the low-pass filter 141 to receive the first filter signal and the second filter signal from the low-pass filter 141, and samples the first filter signal and the second filter signal at the default sampling frequency to generate the feedback signal and the reference signal, respectively.
[0058] The cross-correlator 143 has an adjustable time zone, and is electrically connected to the controller 15, and is controlled by the controller 15 in a manner that the adjustable time zone is set as the default time zone. The cross-correlator 143 is also electrically connected to the sampler 142 to receive the feedback signal and the reference signal from the sampler 142, and calculates the cross-correlation of the feedback signal and the reference signal corresponding to the delay times distributed in the default time zone to generate the cross-correlation result as the operation output. Specifically, for each of the delay times, the cross-correlator 143 delays the reference signal by the delay time to generate a delayed signal, and calculates the dot product of the feedback signal and the delayed signal. The dot products corresponding to the delay times together constitute the cross-correlation result.
[0059] The analog-to-digital converter 144 is electrically connected to the cross-correlator 143 to receive the operation output from the cross-correlator 143, and is also electrically connected to the controller 15, and performs analog-to-digital conversion on the operation output to generate a digital representation of the operation output for reception by the controller 15. The controller 15 calculates the distance from the ranging system 1 to the target 2 according to the digital representation of the operation output.
[0060] In a first implementation of the present embodiment, the controller 15 controls the low-pass filter 141 and the sampler 142 so that the default filtering bandwidth is narrower than a signal bandwidth of the incident wave, and the default sampling frequency is higher than the default filtering bandwidth.
[0061] Figure 2 The simulation cross-correlation results of the present embodiment under various conditions are illustrated. Under all conditions, the signal bandwidth of the incident wave is 500 MHz and the default sampling frequency is 5 GHz, and the default filter bandwidth is infinity, 100 MHz, 50 MHz, 25 MHz and 10 MHz under various conditions. Under each condition, the delay time corresponding to the maximum dot product is the actual delay time of the reflected wave of the ranging system 1 corresponding to the incident wave. Figure 2 It can be reasonably determined that the lower the default filter bandwidth, the wider a pulse of the cross-correlation result containing the maximum dot product will be. Figure 3 As shown, when the default sampling frequency is higher than the default filtering bandwidth, the cross-correlation result (that is, the combination of solid dots and hollow dots) will not lose the above pulses, thus ensuring target detection (that is, target 2 has been detected); and when the default sampling frequency is lower than the default filtering bandwidth, the cross-correlation result (that is, the solid dots) may completely lose the above pulses that should have appeared, resulting in loss of the target (that is, target 2 is not detected). In a first implementation of this embodiment, by making the default filtering bandwidth lower than the default sampling frequency, even if the default sampling frequency is reduced in order to widen a ranging dynamic range of the ranging system 1, the target 2 will still be detected.
[0062] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4In a second implementation of the present embodiment, the ranging system 1 operates in the coarse mode and the fine mode in sequence. In the coarse mode, the controller 15 controls the low-pass filter 141, the sampler 142 and the cross-correlator 143 so that the default filter bandwidth, the default sampling frequency and the default time zone are respectively equal to a first filter bandwidth, a first sampling frequency and a first time zone, the first filter bandwidth is narrower than the signal bandwidth of the incident electromagnetic signal, and the first sampling frequency is higher than the first filter bandwidth. Furthermore, the controller 15 obtains a coarse delay time of the reflected wave of the ranging system 1 corresponding to the incident wave according to the operation output. In the fine mode, the controller 15 controls the low-pass filter 141, the sampler 142 and the cross-correlator 143 so that the default filter bandwidth, the default sampling frequency and the default time zone are respectively equal to a second filter bandwidth, a second sampling frequency and a second time zone. The second filter bandwidth is wider than the first filter bandwidth. The second sampling frequency is higher than the second filtering bandwidth and the first sampling frequency. Figure 4 As shown, the second time zone is narrower than the first time zone and is equal to the coarse delay time. Furthermore, the controller 15 obtains a fine delay time corresponding to the incident wave of the reflected wave of the ranging system 1 according to the calculation output, and calculates the distance from the ranging system 1 to the target 2 according to the fine delay time.
[0063] In the second implementation of the present embodiment, since the default sampling frequency in the fine mode is higher than the default sampling frequency in the coarse mode, and the default time range in the fine mode is narrower than the default time range in the coarse mode, the ranging system 1 has a wider dynamic range in the coarse mode and a better ranging resolution in the fine mode. In addition, the default sampling frequency and the default time range in both the coarse mode and the fine mode can make the total number of samples (that is, the dot products) included in the cross-correlation result not exceed the upper limit constituted by a predetermined power budget, so the ranging system 1 can have an overall fine ranging resolution within a wide ranging dynamic range without excessive power consumption.
[0064] See also Figure 5 A second embodiment of the ranging system 1 of the present invention is similar to the first embodiment, but differs from the first embodiment in that the correlator 143 operates in the digital domain.
[0065] In the second embodiment, the analog-to-digital converter 144 is electrically connected to the sampler 142 to receive the feedback signal and the reference signal from the sampler 142, and performs analog-to-digital conversion on the feedback signal and the reference signal to generate a digital representation of the feedback signal and a digital representation of the reference signal. The cross-correlator 143 is electrically connected to the analog-to-digital converter 144 to receive the digital representation of the feedback signal and the digital representation of the reference signal from the analog-to-digital converter 144, and is also electrically connected to the controller 15. The cross-correlator 143 calculates the cross-correlation of the digital representation of the feedback signal and the digital representation of the reference signal corresponding to the delay times distributed in the default time zone to generate the cross-correlation result as the operation output for reception by the controller 15. The controller 15 calculates the distance from the ranging system 1 to the target 2 according to the operation output.

[0067] See also Figure 7 A fourth embodiment of the distance measuring system 1 of the present invention is similar to the second embodiment, but differs from the second embodiment in that: (a) the reference detector 13 (see Figure 5 ); (b) the controller 15 also generates a digital source signal; (c) the source end 11 is electrically connected to the controller 15 to receive the source signal from the controller 15 and generate the incident wave according to the source signal; and (d) the operator 14 also includes another low-pass filter 145 and an extractor 146 operating in the digital domain.
[0068] In the fourth embodiment, the second filtered signal is generated by the low pass filter 145 instead of the low pass filter 141, and the reference signal is generated by the decimator 146 instead of the sampler 142. Specifically, the low pass filter 145 has an adjustable filter bandwidth, and is electrically connected to the controller 15 and controlled by the controller 15 so that the adjustable filter bandwidth is set to the default filter bandwidth. The low pass filter 145 is used to receive the source signal from the controller 15 and perform low pass filtering on the source signal with the default filter bandwidth to generate the second filtered signal. The decimator 146 has an adjustable sampling frequency, and is electrically connected to the controller 15 and controlled by the controller 15 so that the adjustable sampling frequency is set to the default sampling frequency. The decimator 146 is also electrically connected to the low-pass filter 145 and the cross-correlator 143, and is used to receive the second filtered signal from the low-pass filter 145, and downsample the second filtered signal to generate the reference signal having a sampling rate equal to the default sampling frequency, for reception by the cross-correlator 143. The cross-correlator 143 calculates the cross-correlation of the feedback signal and the digital representation of the reference signal corresponding to the delay times distributed in the default time region, to generate the cross-correlation result.

[0070] In the fifth embodiment, the cross-correlator 143 is electrically connected to the low-pass filter 141 to receive the feedback signal and the reference signal from the low-pass filter 141, and calculates the cross-correlation of the feedback signal and the reference signal corresponding to the delay times distributed in the default time region to generate the cross-correlation result. The sampler 142 is electrically connected to the cross-correlator 143 to receive the cross-correlation result from the cross-correlator 143, and samples the cross-correlation result at the default sampling frequency to generate the operation output.

The controller 15 calculates the distance from the ranging system 1 to the target 2 according to the digital representation of the operation output.
