Abstract
In accordance with some embodiments, systems, methods and media for high dynamic range imaging using dead-time-limited single photon detectors are provided. In some embodiments, a system for high dynamic range imaging is provided, comprising: an image sensor comprising: a pixels comprising: a single photon detector having dead time τ; and a counter coupled to an output of the single photon detector, wherein the counter is configured to increment in response to a signal indicative of detection of a photon output by the single photon detector; and a processor that is programmed to: read out a value stored by the counter after an exposure time has elapsed; and calculate an intensity for the pixel based on the value and the dead time τ.
