The ToF extraction method for the macro-pulse photon counting Lidar system is proposed. The performance of the macro pulse method and the traditional pulse accumulation method were compared in theory and simulation experiments. The results showed that the performance of the macro-pulse method was obviously better than that of the pulse accumulation method. At the same time, a laboratory verification platform for long range and high-speed moving targets was built. The experimental results were highly consistent with the theoretical and simulation results. This proved that the macro pulse photon counting Lidar is an effective method to measure long range high-speed moving targets.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20082204","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,14]],"date-time":"2020-04-14T03:10:01Z","timestamp":1586833801000},"page":"2204","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["A Macro-Pulse Photon Counting Lidar for Long-Range High-Speed Moving Target Detection"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Yang","family":"Yu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Optics and Electronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chengdu 610209, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3084-0126","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bo","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Optics and Electronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chengdu 610209, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"},{"name":"Key laboratory of space optoelectronic precision measurement technology, CAS, Chengdu 610209, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhen","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Optics and Electronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chengdu 610209, China"},{"name":"Key laboratory of space optoelectronic precision measurement technology, CAS, Chengdu 610209, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ZhiKang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Optics and Electronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chengdu 610209, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"351","article-title":"Three-dimensional imaging laser radars with Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode arrays","volume":"13","author":"Albota","year":"2002","journal-title":"Linc.
