[0031] The operation steps of this high-precision laser ranging calibration method and system are as follows: Step 1: Multi-source data acquisition and preprocessing This method begins with the comprehensive acquisition of raw laser ranging data. A multi-band laser emitter mounted on a high-precision laser rangefinder emits a laser towards the target object, and a high-speed photodetector receives the reflected signal to generate raw waveform data for multi-band laser ranging. Subsequently, the data is imported into a data acquisition platform, and time series analysis is used to extract the peak and valley features of each waveform. A raw laser ranging data matrix is constructed with time points as rows and laser band parameters as columns. Based on this, data integrity is checked, outliers are removed, and missing data is filled to ensure that the quality of the input data meets the requirements of high-precision calibration.
[0032] Step 2: Real-time sensing and compensation of environmental parameters To overcome environmental interference, the system synchronously deploys a network of temperature, humidity, and air pressure sensors to collect environmental parameters around the ranging device in real time. These environmental parameter data are aligned with the laser ranging timestamp to form a time synchronization sequence. Then, a multiple linear regression model is applied to calculate the compensation coefficient of the laser propagation speed due to environmental changes, generating environmental parameter compensation data. This compensation model can quantify the impact of environmental fluctuations and correct the original laser speed in real time, providing an accurate data basis for subsequent calibration.
[0033] Step 3: Intelligent Filtering of Signal and Noise To suppress noise in the signal, the system employs a discrete wavelet transform algorithm to perform multi-resolution analysis on the original data matrix, decomposing it into approximation coefficients and detail coefficients. For the detail coefficients representing high-frequency noise, an adaptive soft thresholding filtering method based on Stein's unbiased risk estimation is used to process them, removing noise components while preserving signal characteristics. The filtered coefficients are reconstructed through inverse wavelet transform to generate smooth laser ranging data. This process also includes a closed-loop verification step, which evaluates the effect by calculating the signal-to-noise ratio improvement rate of the data before and after filtering. If the target is not met, the parameters are automatically adjusted and reprocessed to ensure the reliability of noise filtering.
[0034] Step 4: Dynamic calibration based on adaptive filtering The core calibration process utilizes an adaptive Kalman filter algorithm. This algorithm takes filtered laser ranging data and environmental parameter compensation data as input, and performs recursive prediction and updating through state equations and observation equations. After initialization, the algorithm calculates the prior state estimate and covariance in the prediction step, and calculates the Kalman gain based on real-time observations in the update step, and updates the posterior state estimate. The algorithm has adaptive capabilities; by continuously monitoring the residual sequence, it automatically updates the covariance matrix of process noise and observation noise when the residual variance exceeds a threshold, thereby achieving dynamic adjustment of calibration parameters and generating preliminary calibrated laser ranging data.
[0035] Step 5: Calibration accuracy verification and error analysis After generating the preliminary calibration results, the system enters the accuracy verification stage. By comparing the preliminary calibration data with the reference standard distance measurement data obtained by the high-precision total station, the absolute error and relative error are calculated, and laser distance measurement error analysis data is generated. This process also includes drawing an error distribution map and statistically analyzing the error mean, standard deviation and confidence interval, thereby comprehensively evaluating the accuracy and stability of the calibration effect.
[0036] Step Six: Intelligent Recalibration and Parameter Optimization When error analysis shows that the error exceeds the preset threshold, the system automatically triggers the recalibration process. This process constructs a convolutional neural network model, takes historical calibration data, real-time environmental parameters and error data as input, and optimizes the network weights through forward propagation and iterative training based on backpropagation algorithms. The optimized calibration parameters are then output, and finally, more accurate optimized calibration laser ranging data is generated to meet the calibration challenges under complex working conditions.
[0037] Step 7: Data Integration and Security Verification All key data, including optimized calibration laser ranging data, environmental parameter compensation data, and error analysis data, are integrated to construct a summary laser ranging calibration data. To ensure data security and integrity, the summary data is digitally signed, a hash algorithm is used to generate a data digest, and asymmetric encryption technology is used to add a timestamp. Before and after transmission and storage, the hash value is compared to verify whether the data has been tampered with, thus ensuring the reliability of the calibration results.
[0038] Step 8: Closed-loop feedback and system self-optimization Ultimately, the system forms a closed-loop feedback mechanism. Error analysis results and safety verification results are fed back to the system's front-end data acquisition module and dynamic calibration module, dynamically correcting their configuration parameters. This mechanism enables the entire system to self-optimize based on real-time operating status, continuously improving the accuracy, reliability, and long-term stability of laser ranging, forming a complete intelligent calibration closed loop.
