Target Detection Based on Variable Frame Rate Sampling of Active Light Source

抄録

In the process of target detection with active light sources as calibration objects, air scattering and air absorption cause a significant loss of light energy, resulting in distortion and fragmentation of the spot shape. Inspired by band-pass filtering, this study proposes a target detection method based on variable frame rate sampling of an active light source. It primarily adopts i) image modulation for collecting the active light source signal with a specified frequency and subtracting the background, and ii) variable frame rate sampling for further weighted average to attenuate the dynamic noise. The experimental results show that the proposed method can efficiently eliminate static background, suppress dynamic noise, and detect the target location without illumination and background requirements.
