Claim 15:
16. The method of claim 15, wherein the function is:, λ
  =
  
   
    
     ∑
     
      i
      =
      1
     
     N
    
     
    
     
      λ
      i
     
     :
        
     
      λ
      i
     
    
   
   =
   
    
     βλ
     S
     
      (
      i
      )
     
    
    +
    
     βλ
     bk
     
      (
      i
      )
     
    
    +
    
     λ
     n
     
      (
      i
      )
     
    
   
  
 

in which:
λ=avalanche count rate as received by of the superpixel;
λS(i)=a photon count rate resulting from reflected signal photons at photosensor i;
λbk(i)=a photon count rate resulting from background signal photons (i.e., at detector i;
λn(i)=avalanche count rate of intrinsic noise of detector i; and
β=photon detection efficiency.
