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 10):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein the image sensor further comprises a plurality of CMOS pixels, and wherein the pixel is adjacent to at least three CMOS pixels of the plurality of CMOS pixels, and the processor is further programmed to generate image data based on calculated intensity values associated with at least a subset of the plurality of CMOS pixels and the intensity value associated with the pixel.
