Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of ship detection, in particular to a ship hull target early warning system based on radar. Background Art

[0002] When a ship is sailing, the ocean environment is highly variable and unknown obstacles may appear at any time. Therefore, the use of an intelligent navigation system is very important. The application performance of the intelligent navigation system has a direct impact on the safety of the ship's navigation.

[0003] LiDAR is a radar system that emits laser beams to detect the position, speed and other characteristic quantities of a target. Its working principle is to transmit a detection signal (laser beam) to the target, and then compare the received signal reflected from the target (target echo) with the transmitted signal. After appropriate processing, relevant information about the target can be obtained, such as target distance, direction, altitude, speed, attitude, and even shape parameters, so as to detect, track and identify the target. Snow may cause scattering in the LiDAR system, resulting in part of the laser beam being scattered or reflected. Therefore, heavy snow cover will cause the LiDAR signal strength to weaken and the ranging accuracy to be inaccurate.

[0004] In summary, the utility model therefore provides a radar-based hull target early warning system to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

Then the main processor converts the amplified echo pulses into echo signals, performs triangulated laser ranging processing on the echo signals, and completes the ranging.
