Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lidar receiving unit in a focal plane array arrangement.
  • the present invention further relates to a lidar measuring device for detecting an object in the surroundings of a vehicle.
  • Modern vehicles include a variety of systems that provide information to a driver or operator and / or control individual functions of the vehicle partially or fully automatically.
  • the surroundings of the vehicle and, if necessary, other road users are recorded by sensors. Based on the recorded data, a model of the vehicle environment can be generated and changes in this vehicle environment can be reacted to.
  • ADAS advanced driver assistance systems
  • autonomously operating transport systems are increasing.
  • the development of ever more precise sensors makes it possible to record the environment and to control individual functions of the vehicle completely or partially without intervention by the driver.
  • Lidar technology (light detection and ranging) is an important sensor principle for detecting the surroundings.
  • a lidar sensor is based on the emission of light pulses and the detection of the reflected light.
  • a distance to the point of reflection can be calculated using a transit time measurement.
  • a target can be detected by evaluating the reflections received.
  • scanning systems which mostly function based on micromirrors
  • non-scanning systems in which several transmitting and receiving elements are arranged statically next to one another (especially so-called focal plane array arrangement) .
  • WO 2017/081294 A1 describes a method and a device for optical distance measurement. There is a use of a transmission matrix for sending measurement pulses and a receiving matrix for Receiving the measurement pulses disclosed. When the measurement pulses are sent, subsets of the send elements of the send matrix are activated.
  • One challenge in the field of non-scanning lidar measurement systems is the arrangement of the sensor elements in a receiving array and the routing of the signals from the sensor elements to the edge of the receiving array.
  • the highest possible density of the sensor elements of the array should be achieved.
  • efficient routing of the signals to the edge of the array for further processing should be made possible.
  • a high resolution and good detection should be guaranteed.
  • the present invention has the task of providing an approach for the efficient reading of an array of sensor elements.
  • an array is to be implemented in which blind areas are largely avoided.
  • a high resolution should be achieved.
  • the invention relates in a first aspect to a lidar receiving unit in a focal plane array arrangement, with:
  • a plurality of sensor elements are arranged in a macro cell which is assigned to a Sen deelement of the lidar transmission unit;
  • the routing channels traverse the multiple rows between adjacent macrocell clusters of a row and are designed to transport the signals in a direction orthogonal to the rows.
  • the present invention relates to a lidar measuring device for detecting an object in the surroundings of a vehicle, with:
  • a lidar receiving unit according to one of the preceding claims; a lidar transmission unit with a plurality of transmission elements for transmitting light pulses; and
  • control unit for controlling the lidar transmission unit and for evaluating the signals from the sensor elements in order to detect the object.
  • lidar measuring device or the lidar transmitting unit can be designed in accordance with the configurations described for the lidar receiving unit in the dependent claims.
  • the sensor elements of the lidar receiving unit are designed to receive light pulses from a corresponding lidar transmitting unit.
  • Several sensor elements together form a macro cell.
  • Several macro cells together form a macro cell cluster.
  • the macro cell clusters of the lidar receiver unit are arranged in rows. In order to evaluate the signals that arise when a light pulse is received in a sensor element, they must be transported away from the sensor element via routing channels to an edge area of the lidar receiver unit.
  • the routing channels are arranged essentially orthogonally to the rows.
  • a routing channel runs between two adjacent macro-cell clusters of a row.
  • the lidar receiving unit is a microchip on which the sensor elements are arranged, and the signals must be routed to an edge area of the chip in which the corresponding evaluation electronics are located.
  • the arrangement of the routing channels according to the invention results in an efficient transmission of the signals from the sensor elements into the edge area of the lidar receiving unit. It is possible to achieve routing of the signals orthogonally to the rows with a line-by-line layout of the Li dar receiving unit and the lidar transmitting unit or with a line-by-line control of the lidar transmitting unit. In this way, high performance can be ensured in the long range. In the close range there are gaps due to the routing, which means that the resolution solution is reduced. However, the effective spatial resolution is improved since the lidar measuring device works with a constant angular resolution. Efficient routing is achieved. A high resolution can be achieved. The use of a focal plane array arrangement results in a high level of robustness against vibrations. The service life of the lidar measuring device is improved. There are also advantages in terms of manufacturability. A cost-efficient implementation becomes possible.
  • two macro cells each form a macro cell cluster.
  • the two macro cells of the macro cell cluster are preferably arranged parallel to the rows. Because a routing channel runs between two adjacent macro cell clusters of a row, the two macro cells of the macro cell cluster can be read from both sides. The result is an efficient readability. An arrangement of the macro cells parallel to the rows results in good contactability.
  • the macro cell clusters of a first row are offset from the macro cell clusters of a second row, which is adjacent to the first row.
  • the staggered arrangement avoids the vertical (orthogonal to the lines) blind areas in which no detections can take place. The result is an improved recognition of objects.
  • the routing channels run in channel sections between the rows parallel to the rows. At least in sections, the channels can run parallel to the lines. Nevertheless, the signals are transported out of the array orthogonally to the lines.
  • the channel sections running parallel to the rows are particularly advantageous when the macrocell clusters of two adjacent rows are arranged offset from one another.
  • a distance between adjacent macrocell clusters in a row is greater than a distance between adjacent macrocell clusters in adjacent rows.
  • preprocessing elements for reading out the sensor elements are arranged between adjacent lines.
  • the preprocessing elements preferably include a transistor.
  • the distances are preferably chosen so that the largest possible Density of the sensor elements of the lidar receiver unit results. As many sensor elements as possible should be arranged on a chip. Routing takes place between neighboring macro cell clusters of a row. Pre-processing elements are arranged between the lines, which usually require comparatively less space.
  • an integer multiple of a diameter of the sensor elements is different from a distance between centers of the transmission elements of the lidar transmission unit to be assigned.
  • the fact that several sensor elements each receive a light pulse from a transmission element can result in poorer detection due to alignment errors.
  • these errors can be balanced or averaged.
  • the errors are leveled out, so to speak, in that at least one macro cell does not completely coincide in its imaging position on the receiving array with the assigned transmitting element. The result is an improved detection of objects in the sense of an improved usability of the sensor data.
  • sensor elements with reduced sensitivity are arranged between macro cells of a macro cell cluster.
  • transmission elements can be used which have a metallization on an opening and thus receive fewer photons. This results in a better delimitation between neighboring macro cells of a macro cell cluster. An improved detection of objects is achieved.
  • the lidar receiving unit includes evaluation electronics for reading out the sensor elements line by line.
  • the evaluation electronics are preferably also arranged on the chip. The signals from the sensor elements are evaluated in order to enable object detection.
  • a macro cell cluster comprises between 14 and 34 sensor elements.
