Claim 14:
15. A method for detecting events with a computation pixel imager, the method comprising: receiving photons at a detector in a pixel of the imager and generating an analog signal; converting, with a signal converter, the analog signal to a sequence of pulses; incrementing a count value with a counter for a first duration of time based on received pulses from the sequence of pulses; decrementing the count value to a resulting digital number with the counter for a second duration of time based on received pulses from the sequence of pulses; comparing the resulting digital number with a threshold value or range of values; and if the resulting digital number exceeds the threshold value or is outside the range of values, retaining the resulting digital number on the counter in the pixel for read out.
