BACKGROUND Imaging technologies, which extend human vision capabilities, are such a
natural part of our current everyday experience that we often take them for granted …

Imaging in low light is difficult because the number of photons arriving at the sensor is low.
Imaging dynamic scenes in low-light environments is even more difficult because as the …

The quanta image sensor (QIS) is a photon-counting image sensor that has been
implemented using different electron devices, including impact ionization-gain devices, such …

Low-light imaging is a challenging task because of the excessive photon shot noise. Color
imaging in low-light is even more difficult because one needs to demosaick and denoise …

High dynamic range (HDR) imaging is one of the biggest achievements in modern
photography. Traditional solutions to HDR imaging are designed for and applied to CMOS …

The one-bit quanta image sensor (QIS) is a photon-counting device that captures image
intensities using binary bits. Assuming that the analog voltage generated at the floating …

State-of-the-art image classifiers are trained and tested using well-illuminated images.
These images are typically captured by CMOS image sensors with at least tens of photons …

Digital holography (DH) is a powerful imaging modality that is capable of capturing the
object wavefront information, making it very valuable for diverse scientific research …

The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is a fundamental tool to measure the performance of an
image sensor. However, confusions sometimes arise between the two types of SNRs. The …

Quanta Image Sensor (QIS) is a single-photon detector designed for extremely low light
imaging conditions. Majority of the existing QIS prototypes are monochrome based on single …
