    We developed a novel online approach for distance estimation using single-photon cameras (SPCs). This method reduces bandwidth and power consumption by processing photon streams with race logic and count-free equi-depth histograms.

    Area of Science:

    • Photonics and Imaging Technology
    • Computational Imaging
    • Sensor Signal Processing

    Background:

    • Single-photon cameras (SPCs) enable high-resolution 3D imaging by precisely capturing individual photon arrival times.
    • Traditional SPCs rely on constructing photon-timestamp histograms, which are computationally intensive and require significant memory and bandwidth.
    • Existing methods face challenges in resource-constrained environments due to high data processing demands.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce an efficient online distance estimation method for SPCs.
    • To overcome the limitations of conventional histogram-based processing in terms of memory, bandwidth, and computational cost.
    • To enable accurate 3D imaging in resource-limited settings.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed an online approach utilizing race logic to process photon streams in the time-delay domain.

  • Implemented count-free equi-depth histograms, a more succinct representation for peaky photon distributions, instead of conventional equi-width histograms.
  • Employed a binner element converging on distribution quantiles, cascaded to form a multi-bin equi-depth histogrammer.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved at least an order of magnitude reduction in bandwidth and power consumption compared to conventional methods.
    • Maintained comparable distance reconstruction accuracy to existing histogram-based processing techniques.
    • Demonstrated the feasibility of the approach for resource-constrained applications.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed online distance estimation method offers a significant improvement in efficiency for single-photon 3D imaging.
    • Count-free equi-depth histograms and race logic provide a viable alternative to traditional histogramming for SPCs.
    • This technology is well-suited for applications requiring high-resolution 3D imaging with limited computational resources.
