The invention discloses a high-resolution
peak value positioning method based on multi-pulse superposition and offset
clock cooperation, and belongs to the technical field of
laser radar ranging. Aiming at the problems that a traditional
laser radar depends on a high-sampling-rate ADC, so that hardware cost is high,
power consumption is large, and sampling errors are likely to be caused by echo
jitter, the method does not need to replace an existing ADC, and the technical breakthrough is achieved through the following core steps that firstly, the basic sampling rate X Hz and the target equivalent sampling rate improvement multiple N of the ADC are determined;
laser pulses are emitted to a target object for N times, during Kth emission, ADC sampling is started by delaying (K-1) / (X * N) seconds, and N groups of echo data with
time sequence offset are obtained; performing cross combination on the N groups of data, and constructing an N-time equivalent high-sampling-rate data sequence; repeating the sampling and combining process for S times, and performing alignment superposition and averaging on S groups of data to suppress echo
jitter and
noise; and estimating initial parameters (amplitude, mean value and standard deviation) of a
Gaussian model based on the superposed data, optimizing the parameters through an LM nonlinear optimization
algorithm, and finally taking the optimized mean value as a high-precision peak position of an
echo signal to realize accurate measurement of the laser
flight time. Under the condition of low-sampling-rate hardware, through the
collaborative design of
clock skew and multi-pulse superposition, the physical limitation of the sampling rate is broken through, low cost, low
power consumption and high
ranging precision are taken into account, and the method is adaptive to multi-scene application of automatic driving, industrial
ranging and the like.
