The application relates to a low
signal-to-background ratio GM-APD
laser radar distance parameter estimation method based on a multi-scale tracking
differentiator, relates to the technical field of
laser radar detection imaging, solves the problem that in the condition of a low
signal-to-background ratio, the echo of a GM-APD
laser radar is easily submerged by strong
noise, leading to the degradation of
distance parameter estimation performance and low target restoration degree, a double-scale tracking
differentiator system is constructed, large-scale factors are used to capture the transient
mutation characteristics of echo signals, and small-scale factors are used to estimate the overall evolution trend of the signals; the residual signals are obtained by taking the difference of the double-scale outputs, and are combined with the nonlinear mapping enhancement of the
photon trigger probability characteristics, so that the
noise is deeply suppressed and the target
peak value is highlighted, and the peak threshold method is used to complete distance calculation. The method is free from the dependence on complex statistical models and spatial
prior information, and uses a nonlinear dynamic tracking mechanism to realize the extraction of target information.
