Assignee: LG INNOTEK CO., LTD.
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 5:
6. The system of claim 2, wherein the programming instructions that are configured to instruct the processor to compare the characteristic data of the signals received by the blocked pixels with the characteristic data of the signals received by the unblocked pixels to determine a measurement of intrinsic noise in the detector array comprise instructions to:
identify a superpixel comprising a group of the pixels in the detector array;
determine a total photon count rate received by the superpixel;
determine an avalanche count rate received by the unblocked pixels of the superpixel; and
determine the measurement of noise as a function of the total photon count rate and the avalanche count rate received by the unblocked pixels of the superpixel.
