New method tackles single-photon camera limitations

Researchers have developed a new computational imaging method to address limitations in single-photon cameras. These cameras, based on single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) technology, are sensitive and have high time resolution but struggle with "pile-up" distortions in high-photon-flux conditions and generate excessive data. The proposed method combines free-running capture with an analysis-by-synthesis software pipeline to correct these pile-up distortions, enabling high-resolution SPAD cameras to operate effectively in real-world high-flux scenarios.
