Aiming at the problem of scanning distortion in X–Y galvanometer light detecting and ranging (Lidar) scanning system, we propose a method of image scanning distortion correction with controllable driving voltage compensation. Firstly, the geometrical optics vectors model is established to explain the principle of pincushion distortion in the galvanometer scanning system, and the simulation result of scanning trajectory is consistent with experiments. The linear relationship between the driving voltage and the scanning angle of the galvanometer is verified. Secondly, the relationship between the deflection angle of the galvanometer and the scanning trajectory and the driving voltage is deduced respectively, and an image scanning correction algorithm with controllable driving voltage compensation is obtained. The simulation experiment results of the proposed method show that the root-mean-square error (RMSE) and the corresponding curve between the scan value and the actual value at different distances, have a good correction effect for the pincushion distortion. Finally, the X–Y galvanometer scanning Lidar system is established to obtain undistorted two-dimensional scanned image and it can be applied to the three-dimensional Lidar scanning system in the actual experiments, which further demonstrates the feasibility and practicability of our method.
Pulsed Lidar can obtain rich target information in one pulse, but the echo pulse signal is extremely susceptible to low laser transmitting power and complex target environments, resulting in an amplitude that is too low, which affects detection efficiency and ranging accuracy. In this paper, a variational modal decomposition based on gray wolf optimizer (VMD-GWO) and an empirical mode decomposition (EMD) parallel for denoising and signal enhancement in pulse Lidar is proposed and demonstrated completely. First, the adaptive strategy EMD is used for denoising the signal to obtain effective information. The combination of optimal VMD parameters of quadratic penalty α

and decomposition mode k was obtained by using the GWO to select the modal component with the smallest center frequency as effective information. Second, EMD and VMD-GWO parallel optimization algorithms are used to reconstruct the signal to obtain denoising and enhanced signals. Finally, a real experiment was carried out with the pulse Lidar ranging equipment. Our method compared with EMD-soft, EMD-VMD,WL-db4//EMD-DT and WL-db4//VMD has achieved greater improvement. When the target distance and the reflectivity of the reflectivity plate are 30 m and 10%, respectively, the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of the weak echo signal calculated by our method can reach 11.5284 dB. And when in the dead zone of the system ranging, it is effectively denoising and enhancing the signal.
