As shown in fig. 2, the laser detection method provided by the embodiment of the application includes the following steps S101 and S102:
step S101, acquiring the signal-to-noise ratio of an ith difference frequency signal at the ith timestamp moment of each modulation period, and entering step S102;
Step S102, if the signal-to-noise ratio of the ith difference frequency signal is greater than or equal to the corresponding ith signal-to-noise ratio threshold, increasing the emission power of the laser from the ith emission power to the (i+1) th emission power.
In the application, in the process of detecting a target object, a laser emits a detection signal to the target object in a detection interval according to a preset modulation period, modulation bandwidth, sampling frequency and 1st emission power, at the 1st timestamp time of the current modulation period, the signal to noise ratio of a 1st difference frequency signal is obtained by coherent mixing based on the local oscillation signal and an echo signal reflected by the target object, then whether the signal to noise ratio of the 1st difference frequency signal is smaller than a corresponding 1st signal to noise ratio threshold value is judged, if the 1st difference frequency signal is smaller than the corresponding 1st signal to noise ratio threshold value, the 1st emission power is too small, the detection performance of the FMCW laser radar is poor, and the 1st emission power needs to be increased to be 2 nd emission power; if the 1st difference frequency signal is larger than or equal to the corresponding 1st signal-to-noise ratio threshold, the 1st transmitting power is moderate, the detection performance of the FMCW laser radar is good, and the transmitting power of the laser is not required to be increased;
After increasing the 1 st transmitting power to the 2 nd transmitting power, the laser continuously transmits a detection signal to the target object with a preset modulation period, a preset modulation bandwidth, a preset sampling frequency and a preset 2 nd transmitting power, at the 2 nd timestamp time of the current modulation period, the signal to noise ratio of a 2 nd difference frequency signal obtained by coherent mixing based on the local oscillation signal and an echo signal reflected by the target object is obtained, then whether the signal to noise ratio of the 2 nd difference frequency signal is smaller than a corresponding 2 nd signal to noise ratio threshold value is judged, if the signal to noise ratio of the 2 nd difference frequency signal is smaller than the corresponding 2 nd signal to noise ratio threshold value, the 2 nd transmitting power is too small, the detection performance of the FMCW laser radar is poor, and the 2 nd transmitting power needs to be increased to the 3 rd transmitting power; if the 2 nd difference frequency signal is larger than or equal to the corresponding 2 nd signal-to-noise ratio threshold, the 2 nd transmitting power is moderate, the detection performance of the FMCW laser radar is good, and the transmitting power of the laser is not required to be increased;
……;
and the like, after the current modulation period is finished, entering the next modulation period, and continuing to detect the target object.
In application, the modulation period, the modulation bandwidth, the sampling frequency, each time stamp time, the detection interval and each transmitting power can be preset according to actual needs, for example, the modulation period can be 10us, the modulation bandwidth can be 2GB, the sampling frequency can be 250MHz, and the detection interval can be 0m-30m. The interval duration between any two adjacent time stamp instants is known and identical and is equal to the interval duration between the start instant of each modulation period and the 1 st time stamp instant. The time counting can be performed according to the sampling frequency to determine whether each time stamp time is reached, the inverse of the sampling frequency is the duration of each time stamp time, and since the interval duration between any two adjacent time stamp times is known, the sampling frequency of the interval between any two adjacent time stamp times is equal to the interval duration divided by the duration of each time stamp time, and whether each time stamp time is reached can be obtained by counting the sampling frequency.
In one embodiment, prior to step S101, comprising:
Dividing the detection interval into n+1 continuous sub-detection intervals;
determining a j-th transmitting power corresponding to a j-th sub-detecting interval; wherein j=1, 2, …, n+1;
Setting n time stamp moments of each modulation period according to the duration of each modulation period;
and determining an ith signal-to-noise ratio threshold corresponding to the upper limit value of the ith sub-detection interval.
In application, when the FMCW laser radar detects target objects at different distances in a detection interval by adopting the same transmission power, if the same transmission power is adopted, the difference frequency signal is saturated due to overlarge transmission power in a short-distance detection scene, the difference frequency signal is topped off, the center frequency of the difference frequency signal is calculated incorrectly, and in a long-distance detection scene, the signal to noise ratio is smaller due to overlarge transmission power, so that the detection error is larger. Therefore, the detection interval may be divided into n+1 consecutive sub-detection intervals, and then different transmission powers are set for each sub-detection interval, where the upper limit value of each sub-detection interval is positively correlated with the corresponding transmission power, that is, the upper limit value of the i+1th sub-detection interval is greater than the upper limit value of the i-th sub-detection interval, and the i+1th transmission power is greater than the i-th transmission power. For example, when the detection interval is set to 0m-30m, the detection interval may be divided into 3 consecutive sub-detection intervals of 0m-10m, 10m-20m and 20m-30m, and the 3 consecutive sub-detection intervals respectively correspond to P1, P2 and P3 and have total transmission power of 3; wherein P1 is less than P2 and less than P3.
In application, after the sub-detection interval is divided and the corresponding transmitting power is determined, each time stamp time can be set according to the duration of each modulation period, the number of time stamp times is equal to the number of sub-detection intervals minus 1, and because the interval duration between any two adjacent time stamp times is known and the same, the 1 st time stamp time of each modulation period=the start time+interval duration of each modulation period, the 2 nd time stamp time of each modulation period=the 1 st time stamp time+interval duration of each modulation period, … …, and so on, the nth time stamp time of each modulation period=the end time of each modulation period.
In application, because of the corresponding transmitting power of each sub-detection interval, when the FMCW laser radar adopts the corresponding transmitting power to detect the target object at the farthest distance of each sub-detection interval, the local oscillation signal and the echo signal reflected by the target object are coherently mixed to obtain the signal-to-noise ratio of the difference frequency signal to meet the requirement, therefore, after the sub-detection interval is divided and the corresponding transmitting power is determined, the signal-to-noise ratio of the difference frequency signal can be obtained based on the coherent mixing of the local oscillation signal and the echo signal reflected by the target object, and the signal-to-noise ratio threshold corresponding to the farthest distance (namely the upper limit value) of each sub-detection interval is determined.

step S203, if the signal-to-noise ratio of the jth test difference frequency signal is smaller than the corresponding signal-to-noise ratio threshold, increasing the transmitting power of the laser, and returning to the step S201;
And S204, if the signal-to-noise ratio of the j-th test difference frequency signal is greater than or equal to the corresponding signal-to-noise ratio threshold, acquiring the transmitting power of the laser to obtain the j-th transmitting power corresponding to the j-th sub-detection interval.

If the signal-to-noise ratio of the 1 st test difference frequency signal is smaller than the corresponding signal-to-noise ratio threshold, the signal-to-noise ratio of the 1 st test difference frequency signal indicates that the transmitting power of the laser is smaller and the transmitting power of the laser needs to be increased;
controlling the laser to emit a1 st test local oscillator signal and a1 st test detection signal to a test object positioned in a1 st sub-detection interval with increased emission power;
acquiring the signal-to-noise ratio of the 1 st test difference frequency signal again, and if the signal-to-noise ratio of the 1 st test difference frequency signal is still smaller than the corresponding signal-to-noise ratio threshold, continuing to increase the transmitting power of the laser;
The method comprises the steps of circulating in this way until the signal-to-noise ratio of the 1 st test difference frequency signal is greater than or equal to the corresponding signal-to-noise ratio threshold;
