  • Pixilated radiation sensing device
    Patent number: 8502155
    Abstract: A radiation sensing device subdivided in N*M pixels, comprising: a conversion part to convert an impinging radiation into an electrical signal, a processing part having: for each pixel, at least two counters associated to different regions, so that a ratio of counters to pixels is at least equal to 2, an arbitration circuit which, for each pixel: receives detection information from the pixel and neighbouring pixels, taking into account detection information for the pixel and neighbouring pixels, allocates a detection value to an elected counter.
    Type: Grant
