    The present invention relates to a method for distance measurement by means of laser pulses.
    The problem with laser distance measurement over long distances is that the energy of the reflected laser pulses and thus the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the reception channel of the laser rangefinder are very small. An improvement of the SNR by increasing the transmission power is set limits of eye safety. As a remedy, it is known to emit a train of laser pulses and to summate the received signals of the reflected laser pulses {"echo pulses") until they exceed a detection threshold ("pre-detection averaging"). The SNR achievable in this way increases proportionally with the root of the number of accumulated echo pulses.
    However, the emission of a large number of laser pulses per measuring point delays the measurement linearly proportional to the number of pulses. In laser scanning, in particular, where a large number of adjacent target points are measured in order to create a 3D image ("point cloud") of the environment, a short total measurement time per distance measuring point is TEL: (+43 1) 879 17 06 FAX: (+43 1 ) 879 17 07 · E-MAIL: MAll4i) l \ TKNTIiNFiT · WEB: WWW.PATPNTK.NKT PliSlIi BANK: 038-56704 BLZ: 20111 · Ι13ΛΝ: ATI 02011100003856704 -131 (1: (JIBAATVPW-VAT: ATU 538.32900 * ·
    I * * * * * * * * · * * * is crucial if the entire scan is not to be unacceptably long.
    In order to accelerate the measurement, the highest possible pulse repetition rate (PRR) is therefore desirable. On the other hand, this in turn can not be arbitrarily increased, because it is limited by the pulse travel time over the measurable distance range: If the next pulse is already sent before the echo pulse of the last pulse is received, the incoming echo pulses can not be clearly assigned to their respective transmit pulse , which is known as the "pulses in the air" (or "multiple time around") problem (MTA). The maximum size of the uniquely measurable range, the "MTA Zone", is inversely proportional to the pulse repetition rate.
    To overcome the MTA limit of the pulse repetition rate, it is known to differentiate the individual pulses by varying their polarization, amplitude or frequency in order to be able to assign the echo pulses accordingly. However, these methods are either only for a few "pulses in the air". suitable or require consuming encoded pulses, which in each case limits the pulse rate and the measurable distance range and extends the measurement time.
    The invention has for its object to provide a method for laser distance measurement, which can measure even distant targets in an acceptable measurement time. This
    The aim is achieved by a method of the kind mentioned in the introduction, comprising:
    Emitting a train of laser pulses of varying pulse intervals;
    Recording the waveforms of received pulses originating from laser pulses reflected at surrounding targets in at least one set of time windows, each of which starts at a fixed predetermined time interval with respect to the emission timing of a laser pulse of the sequence; superimposing the accumulation of the signal profiles recorded in the time windows of the sentence into a sum signal sequence;
    Detecting at least one pulse exceeding a threshold in the sum signal waveform; and
    Measuring the distance of an environmental target from the timing of the detected pulse in the sum signal waveform.
    It should be noted that the variation of the pulse spacing or the pulse repetition rate as so-called "PRR modulation". in the field of radar technology is known per se to "ghost echoes". ("Ghosting") of transmit pulses outside the considered MTA zone. The present invention is based on the recognition that the use of a PRR modulation in a pre-detection averaging process leads to an automatic suppression of ghost echoes from MTA zones other than those currently considered. This makes it possible to reach distant targets within a certain distance range with »» * · • ·
    To measure a high number of laser pulses quickly and clearly.
    According to a preferred feature of the invention, an integer multiple of the average pulse spacing in the laser pulse train, plus a constant fraction thereof, is chosen as the fixed predetermined time interval. As a result, in each case one of several MTA zones can be selected as a uniqueness measuring range.
    By repeating the procedure for different integer multiples, environmental targets in multiple MTA zones can be surveyed to provide a complete overview of environmental targets in a ranging range extended to multiple MTA zones.
    In addition, the selective consideration of individual MTA zones opens up the possibility for the following advantageous developments of the invention, in which the measurement results from at least two MTA zones are evaluated together in order to increase the measurement reliability and accuracy.
    A first preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention is accordingly characterized in that the signal profiles of the received pulses are recorded in at least two sets of time windows, the said time interval being different for each sentence; that a separate summation signal profile is added up for each sentence, wherein at least two summation signal profiles are used.
    5: ·
    in each case at least one pulse exceeding the threshold value is detected; in that the pulses detected in different summation signal waveforms are compared in terms of amplitude and / or pulse width in order to exclude pulses which have a lower amplitude and / or larger pulse width in one summation waveform than a pulse at the same time position in another summation waveform; and that the distance (s) are measured based on the remaining pulse (s).
    This allows the detection results from one MTA zone to be used to verify or falsify the detection results from another MTA zone, increasing measurement confidence. As a result, it is also possible to reduce the threshold value for the detection of the pulses and thus to increase the sensitivity or accuracy of measurement: For "spirit echoes", one too small
    Threshold may be exceeded by a higher-priced consideration of the "real" Echo pulses into the "right" MTA zones, which lead there at the same (relative) timings to a larger and / or narrower pulse can be eliminated.
    The aforementioned comparisons of the time positions, amplitudes and / or pulse widths of the pulses detected in the individual MTA zones can be carried out with relatively simple computational means, whereby these * 6 *
    Embodiment is particularly suitable for a real-time implementation.
    An alternative preferred development of the invention is characterized in that the pulse intervals are stored; that the waveforms of the received pulses are recorded in at least two sets of time slots, said time interval being different for each set; that a separate summation signal profile is added up for each sentence, at least one pulse exceeding the threshold value being detected in at least one summation signal profile; that a sum of pseudo-receive pulses is generated from this detected pulse for at least one other sum signal waveform whose amplitudes are offset a fraction of its amplitude and their time positions by the mutual time differences of the stored pulse intervals; that this other sum waveform is adjusted by subtracting the sum of pseudo-received pulses therefrom; that in the adjusted sum signal waveform at least one further pulse exceeding a reduced threshold is detected; and measuring the distance of another environmental target from the timing of the detected further pulse.
    This variant achieves an even higher measurement reliability and measuring accuracy with a little more computational effort. From the pulses detected in a first step, "ghost echoes" are first (called sum of pseudo-receive pulses) synthesized around which the other MTA zones are compensated. Subsequently, in a second step, the threshold can be reduced to provide further "true" To detect echo pulses. As a result, the sensitivity and accuracy of the process can be significantly increased. For the generation of the pseudo-receive pulses, in principle, the actually recorded pulse profile of the pulse exceeding the first threshold value could be used. This pulse profile could then be reduced in amplitude and - multiplied by the mutual time differences - be multiplied. A simplification of the computational effort results if, according to a preferred variant of the method for generation, pre-stored pulse shapes are used which are modified in amplitude and in time to form the pseudo-receive pulses mentioned. The pre-stored pulse forms are a good approximation for the generation of the spirit echoes.
    The pulse spacing could be varied periodically deterministically in the simplest case. Preferably, it is statistically randomly varied in the manner of a phase jitter to exclude parasitic effects by periodicities. 8 ► * * · »* * * * · ·
    Preferably, said time windows are selected shorter than the minimum pulse spacing in the laser pulse train in order to avoid disturbing edge effects.
    The laser ranging method of the invention is particularly useful for laser scanning by changing the emission direction of the laser pulses after transmission of a sequence to determine the distance of at least one adjacent second environmental target. This allows a high pulse repetition rate in a short time even far away targets are scanned.
    Such a laser scanning method requires a kind of "stop-and-go" operation of a pulsed laser scanning beam in order to direct it successively for several pulses to the same point. In a further development of this method, the Applicants have recognized that such a stop-and-go operation, which can only be achieved by means of complex stepping motors, is not absolutely necessary. According to a preferred variant of the laser scanning method, the emission direction of the laser pulses during the transmission of a sequence may also be be continuously changed so slowly that - due to their non-"ideal point", extended impact area or footprint - at least some laser pulses of the sequence are reflected at the same environmental target. This results in continuously overlapping echo pulses, which do not significantly affect the basic functionality of the method per measurement point. • · »fff« ·· 6 *
    The invention will be explained in more detail below by means of a preferred embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
    Fig. 1 shows schematically the reflections of a pulsed laser measuring beam on two staggered environmental targets;
    FIG. 2 shows exemplary pulse courses of a prior art pre-detection averaging method; FIG. Figures 3 to 6 are exemplary waveforms of various embodiments of the ranging method of the invention; and Figs. 7 and 8 illustrate the impact areas of two different embodiments of the laser scanning method of the invention.
    Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a laser rangefinder 1 sends a pulsed laser measuring beam 2 to targets 3, 4 in its vicinity to determine the distances di, d.2 to the targets 3, 4 from the pulse transit times of the laser pulses reflected from the targets 3, 4 to determine, as known in the art.
    To increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the receiving channel of the laser rangefinder 1, a whole series of laser pulses Ii, I2, I3, etc., generally Ii, are emitted and the laser pulses reflected at the surrounding targets, also called "echo pulses". or "receive pulses " are recorded in the laser rangefinder 1 as a waveform over the time t, as shown in Fig. 2 in detail.
    FIG. 2 a shows the signal profile of exemplary received pulses E ij originating from the laser pulses reflected at the environmental targets 3, 4, for example as received amplitude or power A over time t. In the example shown, for the first emitted laser pulse Ii at a first time t], a first received pulse En resulting from the reflection at the target 3, and at a second instant t2 a second receiving pulse E12 from the reflection at the farther target 4 comes, received. Similarly, the preceding laser pulse Iq (not shown) results in receive pulses E01 (not shown) and E02, the next transmit pulse I2 receive pulses E21 and Ε22, the third laser pulse I3 receive pulses E31, E32, etc.
    The laser pulses I ± are transmitted at a given pulse interval T = 1 / PRR, where PRR is the pulse repetition rate ("repet"). The signal waveforms of the received pulses Eij are recorded after each transmit pulse 1L over a time window Fi, which adjoins the emission time of the laser pulse Ii at a predetermined distance At, with At ^ 0.
    As shown in Fig. 2b, the waveforms recorded in the time slots Fi are superimposed on the received pulses Eij to obtain a sum waveform As. The accumulation can be both continuous, i. in each case upon arrival of a new signal waveform, or after recording all waveforms are performed.
    Subsequently, in the sum signal curve As, those times at which the points ti, t2, etc. are detected (see FIG. 2c) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * «*» · A »iji _ Ί * | · - * ·· «a ·· φ -1 · -1- t * * * * ·« «« > · «» · * »·« · # «
    Sum signal curve AE exceeds a predetermined threshold value S. The times ti, t2, etc., generally t ±, are used as the reception times of the reception pulses in the laser rangefinder for the transit time and thus distance measurement to the destinations 3, 4.
    So far, Fig. 2 describes a conventional pre-detection averaging method in which the waveforms of numerous receive pulses E13 are summed ("pre-detected") to their signal-to-noise ratio before detection ("pre-detection") (SNR) to improve by constructive overlay. The SNR increases proportionally with the root of the number of summed waveforms.
    As can be seen from FIG. 2a, the problem may arise that the next laser pulse Ii + i is emitted even before all echo or receive pulses Eij of the preceding laser pulse Ii have been received. For example, the laser pulse I2 is already emitted even before the second echo or receive pulse E12 of the first laser pulse Ij has been received. This is equivalent to saying that the pulse interval T and the recording window F, are shorter than the maximum measuring distance in the surrounding area to be measured. In this case, the summation of the step of Fig. 2b results in " false " Receive pulses ("ghost echoes"), e.g. to an assumed pulse reception at time ti 'in the sum signal curve As, with ti' = t2 T. The following methods of FIGS. 3 to 6 overcome this problem.
    Referring to Figs. 3 and 4, the laser pulses Ii are not emitted at a constant pulse interval T = 1 / PRR, but at a pulse interval Ti varying from pulse to pulse. the pulse interval between the first and the second laser pulse Ti, that between the second and the third pulse T2 Φ Ti, etc. The pulse interval Ti is varied only slightly from pulse to pulse, for example +/- 1%, +/- 5% or + The variation can be continuous, for example, sinusoidal, triangular, sawtooth, etc., or preferably statistically random, including pseudorandom, ie in the manner of a random "phase jitter" the sequence of pulses Ii.
    Regardless of the variation of the pulse interval T ±, the time windows F; ti - as previously described in FIG. 2 - at a predetermined distance Ati (FIG. 3} or At2 (FIG. 4), generally Atk, at the respective emission time point of the respective laser pulse Ii In the example shown in FIG. 3, in the recording window F12, the received pulse E2i of the laser pulse I2 is related to a first time ti (at the same "time position") relative to the time window Fi2 and the received pulse Ei2 of the laser pulse Ii to one In the recording window F13, the reception pulse E31 of the laser pulse I3 becomes the second time point ti relative to the time window F13 and the reception pulse E22 of the laser pulse I2 second to the second time window F13 Receive time t2 ', due to the pulse interval modulation compared to the aforementioned time t2 from the second time window F12 slightly different is, i. e. at another "time lag" lies in the time window.
    The summation of the signal profiles recorded in the time windows Fu to the sum signal Ayi in FIG. 3b (or Ας2 in FIG. 4b) thus results in a congruent, ie constructive, reference to the received pulses E2i, E31, etc. at the same time points t3 Overlay, which exceeds the threshold value S (Figure 3c), the "false", not in the "right" time window Fu falling ("jitter") receive pulses El2, E22, E32, etc. overlap, however, non-congruent, so 3c), by selecting the appropriate set of recording windows Fki, which is characterized by their starting distance Atk, it is therefore possible, in a distance measuring range corresponding thereto, to select the "MTA" Zone "Zk, targets 3 and 4, respectively, are clearly and sensitively measured, with many and rapidly successive laser pulses Ij.
    Fig. 4 shows the method of Fig. 3 when changing the start interval Atk of the recording window Fki with respect to the laser pulse Ii, whereby other observation or MTA zones Zk * ··· * · 9 9 99
    can be selected. In the example shown, the distance At2 is increased by a mean pulse interval T with respect to Atk, so that the reception pulses Eij attributable to the penultimate laser pulse Ii-i now overlap congruently. In this way, the time of reception t2 and, therefrom, the distance d2 of the second destination 4 in the second MTA zone Z2 can be measured unequivocally, while destinations 3 can be measured from the "wrong" area. MTA zones Zi, Z3, etc. no longer reach the threshold S and "hidden". become. The choice of the distance Atk of the recording windows Fki of a set of recording windows thus determines the uniquely measurable MTA zone Zk.
    The length of the time windows Fk- · is preferably selected to be shorter than the minimum pulse spacing in the laser pulse sequence Ii. As explained above, the distance Δtk is preferably chosen to be an integer multiple of the average pulse interval T, plus, if appropriate, a constant fraction thereof, ie.
    Atk = (N + p) * T, where N = 0, 1, 2, ... and 0 ^ p < 1.
    5 shows an extension of the method of FIGS. 3 and 4 by mutual consideration or evaluation of the received pulses Eij detected in several (at least two) different MTA zones Zk. The method of FIGS. 3 and 4 is repeated successively (or simultaneously, if the buffer memories for the recording windows Fki are designed accordingly) for a plurality of different integer multiples N of the average pulse interval T in order to detect environmental targets in a plurality of different MTA zones Zk Reindeer. The pulses Ei, Ei ', E2, E2' detected in the summation signal curves A2k are symbolically represented by their pulse amplitudes A, pulse widths b and times ti, ti ', t2 etc. of their occurrence in the respective time window set ft = ZF> · i i. the respective MTA zone Zk. Generally speaking, each detected pulse E can thus be represented in a simplified manner by the triple {t, A, b}.
    If the threshold value for the pulse detection with respect to the threshold value S of FIGS. 3 and 4 is reduced to a reduced threshold value S ', it can happen that reception pulses Ej originating from ghost echoes (eg the overlapping pulses E02 + E12 + E22 of FIG or E22 + E3i of Fig. 4) superimpose to a pulse Ei 'or E2', which exceeds the reduced threshold S '. The "right" detected pulses Ei and E2 in the "right" However, at the same timings ti and t2, MTA zones Zk still have larger amplitudes A and, as a rule, smaller pulse widths b than these "false" ones. detected pulses Ei 'and E2'. By comparing the amplitudes A and pulse widths b of the pulses E occurring in the individual MTA zones Zk at the same (relative) time slots t, the "correct" values can thus be determined. from the "wrong" Detected pulses E are distinguished: If a first pulse E at a time t in the sum signal curve AEk or the MTA zone Zk has a lower amplitude A and preferably greater width b than a second pulse E in a / r other sum signal waveform / MTA zone at the same time slot t, then the first pulse E is recognized as a ghost echo and excluded from further processing.
    By relative comparison of occurring in the individual zones Zk at the same time t pulses e with respect to their amplitudes A and / or pulse widths b thus the individual detected pulses E can be verified or falsified, u.zw. at a reduced threshold S ', which increases the sensitivity of the measuring method.
    FIG. 6 shows a further refinement of the method of FIGS. 3 and 4. First, in a first step a), see FIG. 6a, one or more pulses E are detected in one or more MTA zones Zk if they have a first threshold value Si as shown in Figs. 3 and 4 exceed. For each such detected pulse E, ghost echoes for the other MTA zones Zk are then "synthesized", i. for every other MTA zone Zk, a sum E 'or E " of "pseudo-receive pulses" generated, as shown for example in Fig. 3 as sum EC2 + Ei2 + Ez2 and in Fig. 4 as a sum E2i + E3i. The individual pseudo-receive pulses are amplitude-reduced copies of the original pulse E, which are each offset in their time slots t by the mutual time differences ("phase jitter") Tj-T2, T1-T3, T2-T3 and so on. Since the time differences or phase jitter of the pulse spacings ΊΣ must be known for this, the pulse spacings Ti for this method are either varied or recorded deterministically.
    Subsequently, the thus generated pseudo-receive pulses E ', E " etc. are subtracted in the sum signal waveforms ASk of the other MTA zones Zk to be " adjusted " To generate sum signal waveforms (Fig. 6b).
    In a next step, the threshold value S: is now reduced to a reduced threshold value S2 and it is again detected whether further pulses exceed the now reduced threshold value S2. As a result, "weak " Receive pulses from "real" Ambient targets, which previously fell below the first threshold Si, are detected as the exemplary receive pulse E " ' of Fig. 6b.
    7 shows a further expansion of the described distance measuring method for scanning (scanning) a plurality of measuring targets 5i, 52, etc. lying next to one another in the surroundings of the laser scanner 1, in general 5n. Each measurement target 5n is struck by a train of laser pulses, as discussed with respect to FIGS. 3-6, and its distance measured. The pulsed laser measuring beam 2 is advanced stepwise ("stop-and-go"), e.g. swiveled over an angular range.
    FIG. 8 shows a variant which simplifies the movement of the laser measuring beam 2 by indicating "stop-and-go". is waived; The laser measuring beam 2 with the laser pulses Ii is continuously advancing forward, u.zw. so slowly, * »* * ·· Ι I * I» »»
    the impact points 6lf 62, etc., generally 6n, of the laser pulses Ii, which are not ideally punctiform but occupy a real illumination area, overlap progressively. As a result, a compromise is achieved: the targets measured here 6n go "smeared " into each other, each individual target 6n is measured with multiple - albeit only partially overlapping - laser pulses. Such a continuous guidance of a laser beam is easier to accomplish than a "stop-and-go" operation because, for example, only one deflection mirror has to be rotated for this purpose.
    The invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments, but includes all variants and modifications that fall within the scope of the appended claims.
