The invention relates to a
laser ceilometer dynamic threshold selecting method based on
pulse echo forms, and belongs to the field of
laser remote sensing. The
laser ceilometer dynamic threshold selecting method based on the
pulse echo forms solves the problems that in an existing threshold selecting method, only extreme point positions or fifty-percent peak point positions or dual-threshold positions of pulse echoes are adopted to confirm
transition time of laser pulses, the selected thresholds can be only suitable for specific measurement conditions or plane targets of small slopes. According to the laser
ceilometer dynamic threshold selecting method based on the
pulse echo forms, a mathematic model of the laser ceilometer pulse echo forms,
noise standard deviation and threshold rising edge moment variance is regarded as a theoretical basis, the range error minimization of a laser ceilometer serves as a basis, and the optimization selection of the threshold coefficient of the laser ceilometer is achieved through a parameter
iterative search method. The influences of
noise and pulse widening introduced by gap title effects of the plane targets are fully considered in the threshold value
selection method, range errors caused by threshold setting can be reduced, and the
satellite-borne laser ceilometer can complete high-precision
laser ranging of the plane targets of different slopes under different measurement conditions.
