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 2):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein the pixel further comprises:\n a fast timing circuit coupled to the output of the single photon detector and configured to output a value indicative of a time at which a signal indicative of detection of a photon is output by the single photon detector; a first register coupled to an output of the fast timing circuit, wherein the first register is configured to store a value indicative of a time at which a first signal indicative of detection of a photon was output by the single photon detector during the exposure time; and a second register coupled to the output of the fast timing circuit, wherein the second register is configured to store a value indicative of a time at which a last signal indicative of detection of a photon was output by the single photon detector during the exposure time.
