Abstract

Time of Flight(ToF) LiDAR(Light Detection And Ranging) technology has been used for distance measurement and object detection by measuring ToF time information. This technology has been evolved into higher precision measurement field such like autonomous driving car and terrain analysis since the retrieval of exact ToF time information is of prime importance. In this paper, as a accuracy indicator of the ToF time information, timing jitter was measured and analyzed through Single-Shot LiDAR system(SSLs) mainly consisting of 1.5um wavelength MOPA LASER, InGaAs Avalanche Photodiode(APD) at 31M free space environment. Additionally, we applied spline interpolation and multiple-shot averaging method on measured data through SSLs to improve ToF timing information.

시간 정보를 이용하여 거리 측정 및 물체 탐지 등에 사용되고 있는 Time of Flight(ToF) LiDAR(Light Detection And Ranging) 기술이 자율 주행 자동차, 지형 분석 같이 보다 정밀 측정이 필요한 분야에 응용되면서 ToF 시간 정보 추출에 대한 중요성이 높아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 ToF 시간 정보의 정확성의 지표로 timing jitter를 사용하였고, 약 31M free space 환경에서 1.5um 파장의 MOPA LASER와 InGaAs Avalanche Photodiode(APD)로 이루어진 Single-Shot LiDAR system(SSLs)을 통해 측정 및 분석하였다. 또한 SSLs를 통해 측정된 데이터에 curve fitting 방법인 spline interpolation과 반복 측정된 피크 데이터를 이용하는 multiple-shot averaging 방법을 적용하여 timing jitter 개선결과를 제시하였다.
