Nowadays, lots of studies show the potential value of laser echo intensity in three-dimensional reconstruction of laser detection system. However, raw intensity information could not be used without correcting, since target geometry could also influence laser echo greatly. Target angle that is the angle between laser axis and target normal is important geometry information in intensity correcting. This paper studies the method to calculate target angle, which, as a result, could have great benefits in laser intensity correcting and further in three-dimensional reconstruction. The target angle could be calculated from the mathematical model between the target angle, distance and pulse width based on the laser space translation model presented. Simulation and experimental results show that, the method proposed can calculate the target angle effectively, which have great contribution in laser intensity correction and further in three-dimensional reconstruction.
In the paper, a design scheme of driving circuit and collimating optical system used for 3D (three-dimensional) imaging device has been proposed. The driving circuit based on power MOSFET for high-power pulsed laser diode has the characteristics of short pulse-width and high output current. According to semiconductor laser’s far field divergence characteristic, the aspheric collimation part has been designed by using optical design software ZEMAX. Far field beam tracing and collimation results are simulated. The laser driver’s output current and pulse width are about 144A and 13.9ns respectively. The RMS of divergent angle of simulation in ZEMAX is 0.318mrad and the spot is more uniform.
