Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for electro-optical distance measurement according to the preamble of patent claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for carrying out the method according to patent claim 8.
- EP 0 312 524 B1 describes a method for electro-optical
- the detected radiation pulse signals (echo signals) are sampled, digitized, added periodically in an adder and then stored in a memory.
- a memory location of the memory is assigned to the samples of a period.
- the samples of the detected radiation pulse signals are added to the already stored samples of the radiation pulse signals detected in the previous period.
- a sum pulse signal is formed as a result of the addition of the sampled values, and the time position of the radiation pulse signal can be determined from its position in time in relation to the time of the pulse emission.
- a disadvantage of this method is that a high sampling rate is necessary in order to determine the exact position of the echo signal. Since the sampling rate is limited for technical reasons and, in addition, a higher sampling rate required a larger memory, only a certain number of sampling values per pulse signal are available for evaluation. As a result, errors can occur when determining the temporal position of the detected pulse signal, in particular when the shape of the pulse signal is changed by external influences. Furthermore, DE 40 31 668 A1 discloses a method for electro-optical distance measurement, in which a sequence of individual light pulses is periodically emitted. The signal emitted as a pulse train is a bandwidth-spread signal, so that the duration of the emitted signal is considerably greater than the reciprocal spectral bandwidth of the same.
- the next pulse train is transmitted, the detected light signals being added up and stored with the period of the pulse train.
- the transmitted pulse trains must be reflected on two measurement objects.
- the two transit times of the pulse sequences are approximated so that the distance can be determined after determining the transit time difference.
- transmitters in particular pulse laser diodes, with a peak power that is approximately 1000 times higher and a comparable average power to CW laser diodes cannot be used. Since a comparatively large period of time has to be waited for pulse laser diodes until the next pulse can be emitted, the transmission of a bandwidth-spread signal is not possible.
- the invention is based on the technical problem of specifying a method and a device for carrying out the method, so that the accuracy of determining the temporal position of the detected pulse signal is increased.
- the individual radiation pulse signals are each emitted offset by a shift interval at the beginning of a constant pulse transmission interval.
- the pulse transmission interval is determined by the pulse repetition time of the transmitter.
- the length of the shift interval is selected such that, after a certain number of individual pulse signals have been transmitted, an equal number of echo signals, each shifted by the corresponding shift interval, are stored next to one another on an imaginary time axis.
- These time-delayed stored echo signals represent a pulse pattern that can be impressed by previously selecting the length of the shift intervals.
- the measurement is repeated so that the echo signals are added to the already stored echo signals in the subsequent measurement. These measurements are repeated until the echo signals stand out sufficiently from the noise signals.
- the running time can then be determined using suitable calculation methods by comparison with a predetermined reference pattern.
- the accuracy of the measurement is increased. Because the duration between the emission of adjacent radiation pulse signals corresponds to at least one pulse transmission interval, the individual radiation pulse signals can have a high peak power. After the detection of the echo signals, there is a pulse pattern, from the temporal position of which is related to a reference pattern, the transit time can be determined exactly.
- the invention is based on the knowledge that the accuracy of the measurement increases on the one hand with the peak power of the transmitter and on the other hand only with M the number of the detected pulse patterns. A measurement result with a higher result is thus obtained
- the detected echo pulse pattern is caused by the delayed transmission of the individual radiation pulse signals generated.
- the starting point of a pulse transmission interval forms the reference point for the time delay by one shift interval.
- the shift intervals preferably have different lengths, the length being formed according to a random pattern, so that the detected echo pattern is equally randomly distributed.
- the measurement accuracy is particularly high, because the autocorrelation is a delta function for m-sequences.
- the echo signal can be correlated with a reference pulse signal.
- suitable estimation methods e.g. the minimum variance or according to the maximum likelihood principle, the temporal position of the echo signal can be determined in order to calculate the desired transit time.
- a pulse laser with a relatively high peak power can advantageously be used, for example with a peak power of 5 to 10 W.
- This increases the signal / noise ratio and also covers a large measuring range because of the relatively long recovery time of the laser become.
- the time period of the measuring range that depends on
- Use case is not relevant for the measurement, can be used to have other arithmetic operations performed in the computer.
- the receiver consists of a CCD module.
- the echo signals are temporarily stored in a plurality of CCD memories and added up.
- the sum signal can then be fed to the signal processing unit for evaluation at the end of the measurement.
- the CCD module can advantageously be used in a single-chip design.
- the storage capacity can be expanded as desired, and additional image information about the measurement object can be obtained and processed by the provision of further CCD modules.
- FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a preferred exemplary embodiment
- FIG. 2 shows a time diagram with radiation pulse signals respectively emitted in a measuring interval and with a sum signal consisting of time-delayed echo pulse signals
- Fig. 3 is a block diagram of a further exemplary embodiment.
- the signal processing unit 10 has a signal processor 14 which, at the start of a distance measurement, emits a start signal to the transmitter 11 via a digital / analog converter 15.
- the transmitter 11 consists of a laser which emits individual high-power radiation pulse signals. The peak power of the laser is preferably 5 to 10 watts.
- the radiation pulse signals emitted by the transmitter 11 leave the device via a lens system 16 and hit a measurement object 17, on which they are reflected and subsequently detected by the receiver 12.
- the radiation pulse signals detected in the receiver 12 are sent as echo signals to an analog / digital converter 18 of the signal processing unit 10 fed and subsequently processed in the signal processor 14.
- a memory 19 is used to store the measurement results of a measurement interval.
- the echo signals are sampled at a sampling rate of approx. 40 MHz.
- the sample values of the echo signals obtained therefrom within a measurement interval are each assigned to a memory location in the memory 19.
- the calculated measurement result is then shown on a display 13.
- the transmission of the individual radiation pulse signals by means of the transmitter 11 is controlled by the signal processor 14.
- a multiplicity of radiation pulse signals are emitted one after the other, the detected radiation pulse signals being added up and stored in the memory 19.
- the pulse signals are emitted as individual pulse signals each within a pulse transmission interval T 1.
- the duration of the pulse transmission interval T ⁇ corresponds to the repetition time of the transmitter 11.
- the measuring interval is determined by the predetermined measuring range. In order to obtain a measuring range of 3000 meters, for example, the measuring interval corresponds to a quarter of the duration of the pulse transmission interval T, with a repetition time of the laser of approx. 100 ⁇ s.
- the transmission of the individual pulse signals is controlled by the signal processor 14 in such a way that the radiation pulse signals are not transmitted periodically, but rather at a time offset from the period of the pulse transmission interval T ( .
- the transmission of a first transmission pulse signal takes place Beginning of a pulse transmission interval T ( , the subsequent second transmission pulse signal is transmitted by a shift interval T v at a time offset from the beginning of the second pulse transmission interval T, namely at time t.
- the time shift of the transmission pulse signals continues with each further pulse transmission -Interval T ⁇ continues, the detected signals of a pulse transmission interval T ( to the detected signals of the previous pulse transmission interval T stored in the memory 19).
- the duration of the shift interval T v is greater than the radiation pulse duration prevents the echo signals of adjacent measuring intervals from being superimposed.
- an echo pulse pattern is stored in the memory 19, the spacing of the echo signals depending on the size of the shift intervals T. Alternatively, it can
- Displacement interval T v can also be chosen to be constant. The result is a sum pulse sequence with equidistant pulse intervals.
- the signal processor 14 supplies the transmitter 11 with start signals, the chronological sequence of which can be programmed, while the received echo signals are continuously available to the signal processor 14 through the A / D converter 18.
- the time interval that arises between the beginning of two emitted radiation pulse signals is composed of the duration of the pulse transmission interval T and the shift interval T v .
- a pulse sequence results which represents a bandwidth-spread signal, the length of which corresponds to the duration of seven radiation pulses.
- the length of the resulting pulse sequence can be extended as desired.
- the controller for forming the desired pulse sequence can be designed in such a way that the radiation pulse signals are emitted periodically by the transmitter 11 at the beginning of the pulse transmission interval T 1, while the sampling of the echo signals in the A / D converter 18 already begins by a shift interval. This can be achieved by program-controlled reading in a register of the signal processor 14.
- the resulting pulse train is compared with a reference pulse train.
- the reference pulse sequence is preferably determined by a calibration measurement, the distance of the reference test object from the measuring device being approximately zero.
- the runtime can subsequently be determined using known mathematical estimation methods, for example using the maximum likelihood estimation algorithm known from DE 40 31 668 A1 or the method of minimum variance.
- the transit time can be determined by correlating the resulting pulse train with the reference pulse train.
- the device for distance measurement consists of an analog receiver which is constructed using CCD technology.
- the receiver consists of a CCD module 22, which consists of a photo detector 23, an amplifier 24 connected downstream of this and a sequence of analog CCD memories 25.
- the data volume of a measurement interval can be stored in each analog CCD memory 25.
- the CCD memories 25 are arranged in a row, the adjacent CCD memories 25 being connected to a number of transfer gates corresponding to the number of data per measurement interval for transferring the same. After the data of the first measured measurement interval have been read into the memory 25b, these data are transferred to the adjacent CCD memory 25b during a read cycle via the transfer gates and stored there.
- a signal processor 28 arranged in the signal processing unit 27 serves in the same way as in the exemplary embodiment described above on the one hand to control the emitted radiation pulse signals or the received echo signals and on the other hand to determine the transit time by means of a mathematical estimation method.
- the measurement result obtained can subsequently be shown in a display 29.
- the start signal of the signal processor 28 is fed to the transmitter 21 via a D / A converter 30.
- the transmission of the radiation pulse signals is controlled in the same way as in the first embodiment.
