Abstract
Aiming at the problem that the background noise mixed in the target echo will affect the calculation of the target polarization degree when the traditional polarization detection system obtains the target polarization degree, based on the polarization Gm-APD detection model, a set of target echo polarization correction method is proposed. The target is imaged in a xenon lamp environment, the influence of target attitude and polarization angle on detection is explored, and the polarization imaging results are analyzed. The results show that the polarization system has a significant effect on metal materials with low surface roughness. When circularly polarized light is incident, the echo trigger probability of the metal material reaches a peak at the polarization angle of 135°. The greater the incident angle, the greater the echo depolarization and the lower the trigger probability. By inverting the distribution of echo photons, the number of background noise photons in the echo and the number of target echo photons can be obtained respectively, and a more accurate correction of the polarization degree of the target echo can be obtained. For metal materials, when the target attitude angle is 30°, the target polarization before and after correction are 0.47 and 0.57 respectively, and the target echo polarization after correction is 7% higher than that without correction. This research work provides experimental support for the effective detection and target detection of GM-APD lidar in the daytime.
