“…It is an important quantitative tool to evaluate the uncertainty of information generation, transmission, and reception. In recent years, many studies using entropy as an evaluation metric to improve performance have emerged in various fields, such as image quality assessment [ 24 , 25 ], beam complexity analysis [ 26 ], laser chaotic signal evaluation [ 27 , 28 ], fuzzy clustering [ 29 , 30 ], quantum communication [ 31 , 32 ], etc. In photon-counting LiDAR, the process of range measurement can be regarded as an information transmission model, and the uncertainty of the distribution of the signal and noise is completely different.…”
