Because the traditional pulse laser high-precision ranging method has the problems of low ranging accuracy and long ranging time, a pulse laser high-precision ranging algorithm under low signal-to-noise ratio is proposed. Based on the analysis of the basic principle of pulse laser ranging, the pulse laser signal under low signal-to-noise ratio is obtained by modeling the pulse laser echo analog signal waveform. The wavelet denoising method of improved threshold function is used to denoise the pulse laser signal under low signal-to-noise ratio. According to the processing results, the pulse laser high-precision ranging is carried out through sinusoidal amplitude time conversion. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has high precision and short ranging time.
