Range estimation technology, which plays a decisive role on the properties of the laser radar system, is always the core technology of laser radar technology. A range estimation technology based on Artificial Neural Network which contains two layers of network was proposed. The contrast experiment with the Cross-correlation range estimation technology demonstrates this technology can provide more accurate range estimation result. A simulation experiment on intensity image was conducted, and experiment result show this technology can provide more accurate intensity data than the peak judgment technology. The correlation between the neuron amount of hidden layer and range estimation accuracy was also analyzed, and the result shows too many or too few neurons will decrease the range estimation accuracy.
