  • Publication number: 20260238889
    Abstract: There is provided a system and method for single-photon imaging. The method including: receiving a plurality of asynchronous, or partially asynchronous, single-photon detections and an absolute timestamp associated with each one of the received single-photon detections; performing probing measurements to determine a sum of values of a probing function on the single-photon detection values at each of the absolute timestamps; reconstructing a continuous-time flux function from the probing measurements; and outputting the reconstructed continuous-time flux function or an integral thereof.

  • Publication number: 20220116556
    Abstract: There is provided a method and system for pixel-wise imaging of a scene. The method including: receiving a pixel-wise pattern, the pixel-wise pattern including a masking value for each pixel in an array of pixels of an image sensor; producing an electronic signal at each pixel when such pixel is exposed to light received from the scene; and directing the electronic signal at each pixel to one or more collection nodes associated with such pixel based on the respective masking value, the one or more collection nodes each capable of integrating the received electronic signal.
