1. Introduction Photon counting lidar possesses characteristics such as high precision, anti-interference capability, a small size, and a light weight [1]. It can be utilized for long-distance measurement during daytime conditions. Specifically, it can be applied in traffic vehicle detection, drone landing, aircraft landing, disaster and environmental monitoring, highway survey and design, as well as urban design [2,3]. The ranging performance of lidar is influenced by two aspects [4].
