Description

Direct sequence time-dependent photon counting error compensation method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of laser ranging, in particular to a direct sequence time correlation photon counting error compensation method.
Background
In recent years, research on direct sequence time-dependent photon counting type depth imaging systems has been widely conducted.
Firstly, the existing system adopts a method of emitting a direct sequence at one path and generating a synchronous high level at the other path for detection, and the technology has the problems that high level pulses often cannot be completely synchronous with the time of starting code sending, and particularly when a high code stream rate is sent, the asynchronism can bring about the offset of code pattern reconstruction, thereby causing the problems of broadening of time correlation function waveform, lowering of depth accuracy and the like; in some systems that use an additional pll to solve the synchronization problem, the complexity of the hardware system is increased.
Secondly, the accuracy of the system is also one of key performance parameters, and due to environmental factors, such as noise and uncertain factors such as target materials, a direct sequence time-dependent photon counting type depth imaging method inevitably has measurement errors, and reports indicate that the main reason of the errors is that a photon detector has time walking errors or time jitter, namely, the more photons are detected in unit time, the larger the generated time arrival point advance is, the lower the system accuracy is, in the system, the time walking effect of a Geiger mode avalanche diode causes the deviation of a plurality of photon time arrival points, and inevitably brings the integral displacement of a time-dependent function, so that an offset compensation method of the system is necessary; the offset compensation threshold comparison circuit aiming at the Geiger mode avalanche diode is too complex and has poor applicability; simple function fitting methods (e.g., Weiji He, Bo yu Si ma, Yun fei Chen, Hui dong Dai, Qian Chen, Guo hua Gu. A correction method for range walk error in photosonic counting 3D imaging LIDAR [ J ]. Optics Communications, 2013, 308(1):211-217.Shanshan Shen shen, Chen Qian, Weiji, et al. Boundayevaluation and error correction on Pseudo-random spread spectrum counting system [ J ]. ChineOptics Letters, 2017, 15(9): 090101-1-101-6.). Although the depth accuracy can be improved, the depth offset variances of low signal-to-noise ratio and high signal-to-noise ratio have obvious mutual difference, the variance of each component of the least square estimation quantity of the parameters is large, so that the fluctuation of the estimated value and the true value is increased, namely the variance in the model is no longer minimum, the estimation accuracy is reduced, and the correction of photon counting rate is not considered, so that the method has poor effect in actual imaging.
