Image production in imaging systems employing a multifocal collimator

Abstract

In an imaging system employing a multifocal collimator, displaying an image. Framing an event stream into a first buffer. Mapping each first buffer bin to a bin of each of a normalization buffer and a count buffer. Normalization buffer and count buffer are the same dimension. First buffer bins correspond to normalization buffer bins and the count buffer bins such that geometric distortion from the multifocal collimator is substantially reduced. The value of each normalization buffer bin corresponds to the quantity of corresponding first buffer bins corresponding to that normalization buffer bin, and a value of each count buffer bin corresponds to total counts of the one or more of the first buffer bins corresponding to the each count buffer bin. Determining an updated image as the ratio of the values of count buffer bins to the normalization buffer bins. Displaying an image as a function of the updated image.
