Among the figure: 1, LASER Light Source, 2, photographic lens, 3 image intensifiers, 4, video camera, 5, video signal preprocessor, 6, modulation signal generator.
Embodiment
As shown in Figure 2, the present invention includes LASER Light Source 1, photographic lens 2, image intensifier 3, video camera 4, video signal preprocessor 5, modulation signal generator 6.The pulsed light of LASER Light Source 1 inputs to image intensifier 3 through photographic lens 2, the output of image intensifier 3 connects video camera 4, the output of video camera 4 connects video signal preprocessor 5, and one road pulse control signal of modulation signal generator 6 connects LASER Light Source 1, one road gating control signal connects image intensifier 3.
Video camera 4 is black and white or colour TV cameras of common γ=1; Video signal preprocessor 5 is personal computer, DSP digital signal processor or flush bonding processor; Modulation signal generator 6 is a programming device IspLsi1032E chip.
LASER Light Source 1 is in the work whole target area that is taken of the time throwing light on simultaneously, and be operated in the pulsed illumination mode, reflected by objects light is received by image intensifier 3 through photographic lens 2 imagings in the tested zone, image intensifier 3 is gateable, be operated in the two-value output mode, promptly when input light intensity during less than threshold value, output all is a very little fixed value, when input light intensity during greater than threshold value, output all is a fixed value much larger than low value.The output of image intensifier 3 is received by video camera 4, and video camera 4 is black and white or colour TV cameras of common γ=1.The present invention proposes a kind of pulse signal accumulation mode, shown in Fig. 1 (a) and Fig. 1 (b), " in a frame; light source 1 is that T, pulsewidth are that t ' (t '≤t<T wherein; t=s/c; s is a range resolution, c is the light velocity) sends N the tested zone of pulse illumination light with the cycle, and image intensifier 3 receives reflected by objects light in the tested zone.To i pulsed light, image intensifier 3 is being 0 to i * t receiving optical signals within the time only.After N reception of impulse finishes, video camera 4 outputs one two field picture.Like this, the distance of the intensity of target and target is inversely proportional in the image, the range image that Here it is will survey, or claim 3-D view." send into video signal preprocessor 5 from the image of video camera 4 outputs, video signal preprocessor 5 can be personal computer, digital signal processor (DSP) or other flush bonding processors, the user can carry out own required various processing and demonstration here.Modulation signal generator 6 signals by pulse signal accumulation mode, can produce one road signal and be used for the luminous of gating pulse LASER Light Source 1, produces the gating that another road signal is used to control image intensifier 3.
Below further explain the pulse signal accumulation mode: establishing measured is S apart from total length, and range resolution is s, then need send N=S/s pulse in the frame altogether, and pulsewidth t '≤t=s/c, c are the light velocity.During work, the LASER Light Source 1 whole target area that is taken of throwing light on simultaneously, and under the control of modulation signal generator 6 be that T sends one by one that pulsewidth is the pulsed light of t ' with the cycle, 1/T 〉=Nf wherein, f is a frame frequency.When light source 1 sends first pulsed light, image intensifier 3 is gating under the control of modulation signal generator 6, gating time is t, be that reflected by objects light in 0~s is received by image intensifier 3 in distance like this, because the output of image intensifier 3 is two-values, so object similarly is equicohesive, is designated as v.The output of image intensifier 3 is received and storage by the sensor of video camera 4, and the signal intensity that produces in the sensor of video camera 4 will be proportional to vt '.When LASER Light Source 1 is sent second pulsed light, image intensifier 3 is gating under the control of modulation signal generator 6, gating time is 2t, be that reflected by objects light in 0~2s is received by image intensifier 3 in distance like this, the output of image intensifier 3 is received, adds up, stores by the sensor of video camera 4, at this moment in the sensor of video camera 4, the signal intensity of the object that 0~s distance is interior is proportional to 2vt ', and the signal intensity of the object that s~2s distance is interior is proportional to v ' t.And the like, after having received N light pulse, the signal intensity of the object that 0~s distance is interior is proportional to Nvt ', the signal intensity of the object that s~2s distance is interior is proportional to (N-1) vt ', (N-1) s~Ns is proportional to vt ' apart from the signal intensity of interior object, one frame of video camera [4] the output at this moment image that intensity-distance is relevant.
