  • Publication number: 20230393241
    Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, systems, methods, and media for single photon depth imaging with improved efficiency using compressive histograms are provided. In some embodiments, the system comprises: a light source; a detector configured to detect arrival of individual photons; a processor programmed to: detect a photon arrival; determine a time bin i of the photon arrival in a range from 1 to N a total number of time bins; update a compressed histogram comprising K stored values representing bins of the compressed histogram based on K values in a code word represented by an ith column of a coding matrix C having dimension K×N, with each column different than each other column, and each column corresponds to a single time bin i; and estimate a depth value based on the K values.

  • Publication number: 20230351551
    Abstract: Real time, low-light images, for example, obtained from the fluorescent marker for identifying tumors during surgery, are combined to improve the signal-to-noise ratio using a motion signal derived from corresponding high-light images, for example, taken with a second camera at interleaved intervals of higher illumination.

  • Patent number: 11539895
    Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, systems, methods, and media for motion adaptive imaging using single-photon image sensor data are provided. In some embodiments, the system comprises: an image sensor comprising single-photon detectors in an array; a processor programmed to: receive a sequence of photon frames, each comprising pixels having a value indicative of whether a photon was received during a frame period, each of the pixels corresponds to a pixel location; identify, for each of the pixel locations, changepoints, each indicative of a change in scene brightness; identify a photon frame in the sequence at which at least a threshold change in brightness has occurred based on the changepoints associated with each of the plurality of pixel locations; and generate a series of changepoint frames, wherein each changepoint frame is based on estimated brightness associated with each pixel location at a point in the sequence of photon frames.
