Description

A kind of method of laser imaging radar device and range finding thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to laser radar field, a kind of method of particularly laser imaging radar device and range finding thereof.The method can break through the restriction of detector sampling time to radar system range resolution.
Background technology
Range gating laser imaging radar adopts laser active illumination mode, utilize rangerate-gate technique, whether laser echo signal is there is in section specific time delay after signal is launched by detection, judge whether target exists target in the corresponding distance segment of section time delay, and obtain the echoed signal of the target of different distance according to the priority of time delay, thus obtain the 3D image-forming information of target.The range resolution of range gating laser imaging radar, first depends on range gating interval, is secondly the impact of the fluctuation of range gate and laser pulse signal, the range resolution that narrow pulse width and short sampling interval can make radar reach higher.The range resolution of usual raising range gating laser imaging radar, needs to shorten laser pulse width and sampling interval, and improves Laser emission peak power, and this will propose rigors to laser instrument and receiving system, and concrete implementation exists a lot of difficulty.And when Range-gated Imager laser radar carries out imaging to distant object, due to the restriction of the peak power that laser instrument transmits, system needs pulse width to widen to strengthen signal energy, the range resolution of this nearly low laser radar system of a step-down.Simultaneously due to employing is monopulse systems, and target range limits the repetition frequency of laser pulse signal, thus limits the imaging rate of laser radar system.
Phase encoding laser radar carries out phase modulation to light wave CF signal, then transmitter, phase coded laser light pulse signal according to code source.Target reflected laser pulse coded signal, be received machine through transmission delay receive and be converted into echo coded electrical signal by detector, phase encoding echoed signal and Laser emission phase-coded signal are sent into computing machine through data acquisition and are completed related operation, again through signal transacting, finally provide the distance parameter of target.But the detection of phase-coded signal needs high speed detector to carry out quick sampling to signal, and the sample rate of detector array to laser signal is subject to the restriction of detector array manufacture craft, large face battle array phase encoding laser radar can not be met to the rate request of signal sampling, therefore constrain the application of phase encoding system in laser imaging radar.
M sequence phase coding has good pseudo-randomness, outstanding auto-correlation and their cross correlation.But conventional m sequence phase coding ranging radar needs each subpulse of detection sequence, then the subpulse and reference signal pulse that obtain will be detected carry out related operation, the correlation peak location of two sequences, in the L position in cycle, represents echo sequence with reference signal between phase differential be L, thus judge that target location is R = 1 2 cLτ .
The benefit of this method is modulated at broad pulse, phase information is added in broad pulse, improves measuring distance and the resolution of system.But its shortcoming is system needs each subpulse obtaining sequence, this is very difficult for the laser radar system adopting detector array, because the non-constant width of sampling time width of detector array, cause the subpulse width broadening of sequence, the range resolution of laser radar system is extremely low, can not meet the requirement of laser radar system.
As a rule the sample frequency of detector array is at below 40kHz, and the sampling time of such detector array need be greater than 25 μ s, and this causes the pulse width of systems radiate to need to be greater than 25 μ s, could be recovered the pulse train of laser instrument transmitting by detector array.According to theoretical analysis, the resolution of ranging of system is decided by pulse width, and that is the pulse width of 25 μ s determines the resolution of ranging of system lower than 3750 meters, and this is unacceptable for imaging laser radar system.

Calculate laser echo signal with reference signal between phase differential can by accumulating the echoed signal that obtain with reverse m sequence reference burst between phase differential obtain, its derivation is as follows:
Because N is the length of sequence is known, and therefore L can be obtained by return laser beam sequence and the phase difference calculating oppositely between m sequence reference burst.For actual signal, known subpulse width is τ, and the time of detector accumulation is (N-1) τ.Suppose laser echo signal with reference signal between phase differential be Δ t m=L τ, then accumulate the echoed signal obtained with reverse m sequence reference burst between phase differential be Δ t m=(N-1) (N-L) τ.Therefore have
Δt m = Nτ - Δt M N - 1 - - - ( VIII )
Then target range R is
Step 13: the distance value that computing machine 62 sends according to scrambler 61 is the stereo image of target object according to each pixel arrangement position of detector.
From above-mentioned steps: present invention employs phase encoding pulse amplitude modulation(PAM) mode and carried out information loading procedure to the laser signal of constant amplitude.After the signal received is carried out accumulation detection by detector array 43, phase encoding computing cross-correlation is carried out with the cumulative reverse m sequence reference signal obtained of totalizer 51, respectively phase difference calculating is carried out to target, obtain broad pulse sequence phase poor, be converted to narrow pulse sequence phase differential again, and be converted to target range.This method combines the high advantage of the detection range resolution of ranging far away and impulse phase coded system of range gating laser imaging radar, avoids the shortcoming of the low image taking speed of the low and impulse phase coded system of resolution of ranging that range gating laser imaging radar has when telemeasurement simultaneously.Concrete is analyzed as follows:
Laser imaging radar device of the present invention still launches the narrower subpulse burst of width, and Reference Signal is designated as m ^ L = ( m 1 + L , m 2 + L , . . . , m N + L ) , Echoed signal is designated as m ^ = ( m 1 , m 2 , . . . , m N ) , Here L represents that laser signal propagates the delay caused in an atmosphere.
Wherein, add up in every N-1 position of m sequence reference signal by totalizer 51, obtains reverse m sequence reference sequence, be designated as detector array 43 accumulates detection echoed signal in gating interval (N-1) τ simultaneously, is designated as wherein M iand M i+L, i=1,2 ..., N represents the subcode of accumulation echo samples burst and reverse m sequence reference burst respectively.Sampling time due to detector array 43 is gating time (N-1) τ, and when N is larger, the sampling time width also non-constant width of detector array 43, the reaction velocity of detector array 43 can meet the requirement of system.According to derivation, can obtain
M ^ L = N + 1 2 l - ( m N + L , m N - 1 + L , . . . , m 1 + L ) = N + 1 2 l - ( m N , m N - 1 , . . . , m 1 ) A N - L = [ N + 1 2 l - ( m N , m N - 1 , . . . , m 1 ) ] A N - L = M ^ A N - L
Formula represents that the phase differential between the return laser beam sequence that accumulated samples obtains and new reference signal sequence is N-L.
Because N is the length of sequence is known, and therefore L can be obtained by return laser beam sequence and the phase difference calculating oppositely between m sequence reference burst.For actual signal, known subpulse width is τ, and the time of detector accumulation is (N-1) τ.Suppose laser echo signal with reference signal between phase differential be Δ t m=L τ, then accumulate the echoed signal obtained with reverse m sequence reference burst between phase differential be Δ t m=(N-1) (N-L) τ.Therefore have
Δt m = Nτ - Δt M N - 1
