  • Method, system, and computer program product for localizing photons and a light source emitting the photons
    Patent number: 8334514
    Abstract: Localization methods and methods for localizing a light source using multivariate statistical analysis. In particular, a multi-variate distribution, such as a multi-variate normal distribution, may be used to localize photons originating from a light source and, in particular, may be used to analyze photon position maps acquired by Photon Event Distribution Sampling (PEDS). The multi-variate distribution assigned to each of the photons in the photon position map may be summed to predict a most probable location for the light source.
    Type: Grant
