Abstract

With the demand for high-precision detection of complex targets in civilian applications and scientific research, as well as military exploration, underwater Single-Photon Lidar has emerged as a cutting-edge technology. Based on the fast characteristics of peak imaging but inherent limitations in noise robustness, we proposed an improved peak imaging algorithm using Single-Photon Lidar. The algorithm initially reconstructs the original image by selecting the histogram peak value of the current pixel. Subsequently, it eliminates outliers and reconstructs high-resolution depth maps and reflectance intensity maps of the target scene through a combined approach of spatial pixel substitution and total variation smoothing constraints. The experiment results show that the improved peak imaging algorithm based on Single-Photon Lidar has a single underwater imaging time of only about 1.4 s, a distance and spatial resolution of up to 10 cm, and pixel anomalies are effectively suppressed, which reflects the good performance of the algorithm.
