Abstract
An imaging system includes a sensor array of sensor elements to convert incident light to detections. Plural detection accumulators are provided to store detections. Switches alternatively route detections from a sensor element selectively to n≧3 members of a set of said detection accumulators. An imaging process includes converting incident light to detections, and routing detections so as to partition them among n≧3 accumulators.
