Abstract

The invention relates to a photon-counting imaging laser radar for filtering noise in real time by adopting an adjacent pixel element threshold value method, and the radar relates to the technical field of laser radar. The problem that the photon-counting imaging laser radar noise filtering technology can not meet the real-time application requirement is solved. A pulse laser signal enters a beam splitter to form two signals; one signal is processed through a PIN detector and is outputted to an adjacent pixel element threshold value processing module; the other signal is collimated through a optical transmitting system to radiate a target; the other signal is spread by the target and outputted an echo signal, the echo signal passes through a receiving optical system and a Gm-APD single-photon detector array, the adjacent pixel element threshold value processing module records the echo signal comprising time correlation and compares the signal with an initial signal, so as to obtain the round-trip time difference of the pixel corresponding to the Gm-APD single-photon detector array, the round-trip time difference is calculated to obtain a distance value of the corresponding pixel target, and a target 3D distance image is obtained finally. The radar is suitable for filtering the noise in laser imaging.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of laser radar, in particular to a noise filtering technology of photon counting imaging laser radar that can be performed in real time. Background technique [0002] Photon counting imaging lidar can detect targets in the absence of photons (less than one photon per echo pulse per pixel), so it has become a research hotspot in the field of lidar. However, due to the extremely high response sensitivity of the photon counting imaging lidar, the photon counting imaging lidar is also easily triggered by noise, resulting in a large number of false alarms and seriously affecting the imaging quality. [0003] The current photon counting imaging lidar noise filtering technology is mainly multi-pulse accumulation and image post-processing technology. These traditional technologies need to accumulate detection time or post-processing time, which cannot meet the requirements of real-time applications. Contents of th...
