METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETECTION CONTROL

Embodiments of this application disclose a detection control method and an apparatus, which are used for target detection, and may be applied to the fields such as intelligent driving, intelligent transportation, surveying and mapping, and intelligent manufacturing. In embodiments of this application, a control apparatus may control a laser emitting unit and a laser receiving unit to perform two phases of laser detection. A first phase of laser detection is used to determine a time location, and a second phase of laser detection is used for target detection in a time window including a first time location. In one aspect, in the second phase of detection process, the control apparatus controls a laser detection unit to receive an echo signal in a first time window. Because a time for receiving the echo signal is shortened, an amount of data in the detection process is reduced. In another aspect, detection is not performed at a time location that does not belong to the first time window, so that an unrelated signal can be prevented from affecting a detection effect, and signal effectiveness is improved.
