Software tool for modelling active vision areas of tomographic systems

Abstract

An algorithm for calculating the shape of the active vision area of active-pulse television measuring system is proposed and implemented in the MATLAB software. Methods for determining the range of such systems, implemented in this software environment, are described. The software environment corresponds to the operation of an active-pulse system with settings for illumination pulses duration from 1 ns to 250 ns and settings for strobe pulses duration from 1 ns to 500 ns, and the maximum observation depth of the vision area is 80 m.

Modeling the factors that determine the accuracy of the range measuring using active-pulse television measuring systems

“…In other words, in MZRM, the range scan is realized by dividing the object brightness in the total zone by the brightness of the object in the first zone (figure 3). A software model has been developed in order to perform simulation of the AZV and range AP TMS measurement algorithms, which makes it possible to construct the AZV shape based on specified pulses of illumination and strobing of the photodetector, as well as to assess the effect of system parameters and measurement methods on the error in measuring the distance to objects [9].…”
