When ignoring he effec of he mosphere nd he surfce roughness of he rge, considering he geomeric posiion of he Gussin single-mode echo signl pek o be he cener of he lser spo is highly ccure. However, s he ccurcy significnly decreses when he slope is greer hn 6, mking he rnge of he pek vlue of he single-mode echo d (for slope of less hn 6 ) o be he rnge of he geomericl cener of he lser spo cn obin higher degree of ccurcy. 1. INODUCION Lser rnging echnology is new echnology which hs been widely used in erh sciences nd plnery explorion. Sellie lser rnging echnology involves he use of lser limeer inslled on he sellie, o mesure he disnce from he sellie o he ground, nd obin he ground elevion direcly or help n opicl cmer o chieve high-precision 3D posiioning (Wng, 014(); Wng, 014(b); Wng, 013). As resul of he fligh heigh nd he influence of lser energy, he lser bem dimeer is generlly greer hn 30 m on he ground, so i is impossible o obin dense poin cloud. he spo size lso deermines he upper limi of he plne resoluion. herefore, sellie-borne lser limeers re minly used in he mesuremen of high-precision 3D conrol poins, or ground conrol poin nework djusmen. For boh hree-dimensionl conrol poin mesuremen nd disnce mesuremen, he core problem is he mesuremen of he wo-dimensionl coordines of cerin number of poins, nd he corresponding rnge from he sellie o he ground. However, he use of lser echo d o clcule he ground poin locion is ypicl ill-posed problem h involves solving he hree-dimensionl posiion coordines hrough wodimensionl known condiions. As shown in Figure 1, during he cul mesuremen of he lser limeer, he received echo signl is n exension nd superposiion of he echo signl in he ime domin nd he spil domin of ech objec in he lser spo. Processing of he echo signl cn only deermine he heigh disribuion of he lser spo re nd cnno obin he cul rnge vlue of ech poin in he lser fooprin (Li, 007). Mos scholrs regrd he rnge vlue of he pek of he echo d s he rnge of he geomeric cener of he lser spo. However, his ssumpion is no rigorous, becuse he lser spo shows Gussin disribuion in he spce nd ime domins (Grner, 198), nd he energy is collecion of muliple energies wihin he rge s reflecion. If here re mny reflecors on he ground, nd he heigh difference of he ground objec is greer hn he resoluion of he lser rnging, he echo signl will show muli-pek shpe, so using he pek poin s he spo cener locion will resul in lrge error. Even if he ground is fl, he reflecion energy pek will be derived from muliple spos wihin he scope, so we cnno simply regrd he rnge of he pek s he rnge of he geomeric cener. In his pper, heoreicl model for he lser echo signl is firs nlyzed. Simulion experimens hen prove h when ignoring he effec of he surfce roughness of he rge, for slope of less hn 6, regrding he rnge of he echo d energy pek P (x, y) s he rnge of he geomeric cener G (x, y) is highly ccure; however, when he slope is greer hn 6, his ssumpion will resul in lrge error.

Experimen 3: In order o compre he influence of differen slope grdiens on he locion error of he spo cener, he locion error of he spo cener of slope ws compred, where he slope grdien ws chnged from inervls (see Figure 5).
