However, this technology only measures the radial velocity and requires multi-angle data fusion to obtain the complete velocity vector. The speed measurement based on time difference and displacement calculation uses pulsed laser to continuously measure the displacement of the target object and calculates the speed. However, this technology needs to obtain the scanning angle of the scanning device in real time, and it is inevitable that the feedback error of the target position angle information will be caused by system installation and adjustment errors and gravity factors, and the sensitivity to fast acceleration targets is low.

[0023] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be noted that the following examples are intended to facilitate understanding of the present invention and do not have any limiting effect on the present invention.

[0024] The laser radar transmitter uses a pulsed laser, and the scanning galvanometer can be externally triggered. Figure 1 As shown, a laser radar target speed measurement method based on galvanometer ring light scanning includes: The laser and the scanning galvanometer are linked through a synchronous trigger device to adjust the laser pulse frequency. Frequency reduction, the pulse frequency after frequency reduction Sent to the scanning galvanometer, so that the scanning galvanometer is externally triggered to run, and the initial scanning angle corresponding to the rising edge of the scanning galvanometer trigger It can be read by the galvanometer itself. Assuming that the pulse frequency of a laser is 1000Hz and the pulse signal after frequency reduction is 20Hz, the initial scanning angle corresponding to the rising edge of the scanning galvanometer trigger is The laser radar includes a servo turntable that provides feedback on the initial rotation angle, allowing the target's position and velocity to be inverted.

[0025] The following describes how to match the laser pulse frequency with the galvanometer frequency, as well as how to set the arc size of the circular light occupied by adjacent pulses. The laser pulse frequency is , 1000Hz, the time of a single pulse laser is , 0.0001 seconds; the frequency after the synchronization generator is reduced is , 20Hz, then the frequency of the galvanometer is , 20Hz, the time taken by the galvanometer to scan the ring light is , 0.05 seconds. At this time, the number of laser pulses contained in each circle of ring light is , which is 50 pulses. The arc between two adjacent pulses on the ring occupies the arc of the entire ring. rad, 2π / 50≈0.126rad.

[0026] Set the rising edge of the pulse laser to trigger the galvanometer as the time , in one galvanometer rotation cycle, the number of The rising edge time of the laser pulse is In the Within the pulse time, the echo signal time of the small target is ,like Figure 2 As shown in . According to the laser ranging formula: ; in, represents the speed of light, 3×10 8 m / s, the target distance information of the pulse on the ring can be calculated. Assuming that the echo signal is measured under the third laser pulse, The time between the small target echo signal and the rising edge of the laser during the second pulse The target distance at this pulse is 10μs. =3×10 8 (m / s) × 10 (μs) / 2 = 1500m. Set the position of the lidar as the origin of the local coordinate system and the global coordinate system.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the local coordinate system refers to the laser radar rotating on the servo turntable with an azimuth angle of , the pitch angle is When the center of the ring light is Axis, the coordinate system defined by the axis; the global coordinate system refers to the laser radar when the pitch and azimuth angles are 0 as the servo turntable rotates, with the center of the ring light as the In order to conveniently calculate the position information of the target echo, the target is first placed in the local coordinate system.

[0028] It is known that the arc between two adjacent pulse lasers on the ring is rad, is 0.126rad, then when the When the echo signal is measured for the third pulse, the arc between the pulse laser spot and the spot corresponding to the rising edge of the galvanometer is rad, 3×0.126=0.378rad, such as Figure 4 As shown, in the local coordinate system, the three-dimensional coordinate information of the target can be expressed as ; ; ; Will 、 、 、 、 Substitute the above three formulas, the target local coordinate system can be calculated = (0.554, 1.394, 1500).

[0029] At this time, the azimuth angle difference between the local coordinate system and the global coordinate system is = 0.5 rad, the pitch angle difference is = 0.3 rad.

Assuming that the 9th laser pulse is measured, the time of the small target echo signal distance from the laser rising edge is 10.1 μs, and the target distance measured at this pulse = 3 × 10 8 (m / s) × 10.1 (μs) / 2 = 1515 m.

[0031] When the 9th (9th) pulse measures the echo signal, the arc between the pulse laser spot and the spot corresponding to the rising edge of the galvanometer at this time is rad, which is 1.134 rad, as shown in . Then in the local coordinate system, the three-dimensional coordinate information of the target can be represented as: Figure 4 ; ; ; ; Substitute 、 、 、 , Substituting the above three formulas, the local coordinate system of the target can be calculated = (1.373, 0.641, 1514.999). At this time, the azimuth angle difference between the local coordinate system and the global coordinate system is = 0.52 rad, the pitch angle difference is rad, as shown in Figure 3 . The three-dimensional coordinate information of the target at this moment is placed in the global coordinate system, as shown in ; Substituting , , into the above formula, the three-dimensional global coordinate expression of the target can be calculated = (-713.467, -475.959, 1248.859).

[0032] According to the coordinate information corresponding to the target being detected twice, the target speed information is obtained: ; Suppose the time difference when the target is detected twice is = 2 s, substituting , into the above formula, the target speed 0.7094 m / s can be calculated.

[0033] The above embodiments have described the technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present application in detail.
