Method and device for detecting spatial position of high-speed moving light spot
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of detection of spatial positions of light spots moving at high speed, in particular to a method and a device for detecting the spatial positions of the light spots moving at high speed.
Background
The detection of the spatial position of the light spot moving at high speed plays an important role in the fields of aerospace, military, industry and the like, and the acquisition of the spatial position coordinate of the light spot at home and abroad is mainly realized by an acoustic detection method and a camera measurement method at present. The acoustic detection method is a measurement method for realizing positioning by detecting natural sound waves emitted in the air when an instantaneous optical signal is generated by using an acoustic sensor, and although the acoustic detection method has the advantages of large measurable range and certain safety distance between a target and the acoustic sensor, the propagation speed of the sound waves in the air is slow, so the acoustic detection method is not suitable for the position measurement occasion of a high-speed target. The basic principle of the camera measuring method is that a plurality of CCD cameras are placed in a certain position relation, each CCD camera can capture a light spot signal at the moment of flashing of a light signal, the image coordinate position of the light spot signal is contained in picture information generated by the CCD cameras, and then the space three-dimensional position coordinate of the light spot can be calculated by a related image processing algorithm and the relative position relation of the cameras. Since the CCD transmits image information, the measurement accuracy of which depends largely on the picture of high pixels, which affects the transmission frame rate of the camera, the CCD camera measurement method is contradictory in accuracy and response speed. In addition, because the CCD is a segmented device, the resolution of the CCD is limited by the size of pixels, the response speed of the detector is influenced by adopting a scanning mode, and the CCD detection process has higher requirements on an imaging system, so that the design of a subsequent processing circuit is complicated.
The position sensitive detector PSD is a semiconductor device based on transverse photoelectric effect developed in the middle and later period of the twentieth century, and can convert the intensity and displacement of a light spot irradiated on a sensitive surface by a light source into a current signal, namely the current signal of an output electrode represents the position information of the light source. Compared with CCD, PSD is a continuous analog device, which overcomes the limitation of pixel size in resolution of array type device, and the output mode does not need scanning, thus improving detection speed and simplifying measurement circuit.
Although the PSD has the advantages of high detection accuracy, fast response speed, strong practicability, etc., the current home and abroad PSD application occasions mainly focus on the detection of two-dimensional positions, and a method and a device for measuring the three-dimensional positions of light spots by using the PSD are lacked.
