Description

Omnidirectional laser radar with optical lens shaping function, using method, equipment and medium
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of laser radars, in particular to an omnidirectional laser radar with optical lens shaping, a using method, equipment and a medium.
Background
The lidar is a radar system that detects a characteristic quantity such as a position and a speed of a target with a laser beam. By emitting a detection signal (laser beam) towards the target, the received signal (target echo) is then reflected back from the target. The information about the target can be obtained by comparing the information with the transmitted signal and performing proper processing. Thereby detecting, tracking and identifying the target. The method can measure various parameters such as the distance, the azimuth, the height, the speed, the gesture, the shape and the like of the target object. The laser radar is a core device in the field of automatic driving of automobiles, and has extremely high application value in automatic driving of automobiles, rail transit, intelligent civil aviation, intelligent shipping, traffic detection, industrial and service robots, internet of things, unmanned aerial vehicles, national security and protection systems and the like, and extremely wide market application space. The laser radar can be classified into: mechanical lidar, semi-solid lidar (hybrid solid-state lidar), solid-state lidar.
The internal module of the mechanical laser radar is provided with a transmitting module and a receiving module, and can rotate by 360 degrees transversely so as to cover the surrounding environment, the laser beams are vertically arranged to form an irradiation surface, the resolution is in direct proportion to the number of the beams, and the more the laser beams are transmitted, the more the information quantity can be received. However, the mechanical laser radar has the defects of complex structure, huge volume, complex debugging, short service life, high production cost and great limitation in practical application, and needs manual light path alignment.
The semi-solid laser radar mainly comprises an MEMS vibrating mirror and a rotating mirror, and is equivalent to the miniaturization of a mechanical rotating structure. The MEMS scanning mirror is a silicon-based semiconductor element, belongs to a solid-state electronic element, and has the two properties of solid state and motion because the micro mirror surface is movable. Simple structure, low cost and convenient manufacture and installation. But the scanning refresh rate is slow, and the high-speed moving object cannot be reacted in time.
Solid-state lidar is a development direction in recent years, and Flash lidar is a mainstream technology in the current stage. The Flash solid-state laser radar belongs to a non-scanning radar, emits area array light, is a laser radar which takes a two-dimensional or three-dimensional image as a key output content, and can realize global imaging at one time to finish detection. In analogy to cameras, flash lidar receives and emits active light, while cameras receive passive light reflected by the environment, so the former has one more emitting module. The Flash solid-state laser radar can perform one-time global imaging without considering motion compensation, has no scanning device, high imaging speed, high integration degree, small volume and chip-level process, and is suitable for mass production.
However, the existing Flash solid laser radar laser basically adopts a VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) which is a vertical cavity surface emitting laser, and the photoelectric detector basically adopts SPAD (Single Photon Avalanche Diode) which is a single photon avalanche diode. The technical bottleneck for restricting the development of Flash solid-state lidar is that VCSEL and SPAD upstream components are not mature. If the VCSEL optical power density is insufficient, the detection distance of the Flash solid-state laser radar is limited. The number of SPAD pixels is insufficient, so in order to ensure that the sufficiently small angle resolution can cover a longer distance, the view angle can only be sacrificed, and the Flash laser radar cannot realize omnibearing scanning detection.
