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 13):
The method of  claim 12 , further comprising:\n reading out, from the pixel, a first time from the first register; reading out, from the pixel, a second time from the second register; and calculating, for each of the plurality of pixels, an average time between signals indicative of detection of a photon based on the first time, the second time, and the value stored by the counter.
