Abstract:
In accordance with some embodiments, systems, methods and media for high dynamic range imaging using dead-time-limited single photon detectors are provided. In some embodiments, a system for high dynamic range imaging is provided, comprising: an image sensor comprising: a pixels comprising: a single photon detector having dead time τ d ; and a counter coupled to an output of the single photon detector, wherein the counter is configured to increment in response to a signal indicative of detection of a photon output by the single photon detector; and a processor that is programmed to: read out a value stored by the counter after an exposure time has elapsed; and calculate an intensity for the pixel based on the value and the dead time τ d .

Claim (Index 25):
The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 20 , wherein the method further comprises calculating an estimated photon flux {circumflex over (\u03a6)} based on the relationship \u03a6 ^ = 1 q \ue89e N \ue8a0 ( T ) T - N \ue8a0 ( T ) \ue89e \u03c4 d , where q is the quantum efficiency of the single photon detector, T is the exposure time, and N(T) is the value output from the counter.
