Abstract

An imaging system includes a detector for receiving electromagnetic energy and generating sampled data in accordance with the electromagnetic energy so received. The detector is characterized by a threshold point such that the sampled data is in one of two states: i) below threshold, when the intensity of the electromagnetic energy so received is less than the threshold point; and ii) above threshold, when the intensity of the electromagnetic energy is greater than the threshold point. The imaging system also includes saturation optics for providing a characteristic of the sampled data, wherein the characteristic of the sampled data when below threshold is different from the characteristic of the sampled data when above threshold.
