Study on time-of-flight measurement of self-triggering pulsed laser ranging

Based on the self-triggering pulsed technique,a novel pulsed time-of-flight laser rangefinding method is proposed to improve the accuracy and measuring speed of laser distance measurement.The theoretical analysis is carried out,and three basic equations are presented to describe the methods.The ranging precision and measuring speed are decided by the design of the time-of-flight measurement system to great extent.A time-of-flight measurement system based on CPLD for self-triggering pulsed laser ranging is designed and implemented.Benefiting from the high speed of CPLD,the precision of laser rangefinder is improved.Furthermore,the time-of-flight measurement system is adapted extraordinarily to high performance portable pulsed laser rangefinder for its compactness,simple structure,and high reliability.
