High-resolution single-photon imaging with physics-informed deep learning.

ABSTRACT: High-resolution single-photon imaging remains a big challenge due to the complex hardware manufacturing craft and noise disturbances. Here, we introduce deep learning into SPAD, enabling super-resolution single-photon imaging with enhancement of bit depth and imaging quality. We first studied the complex photon flow model of SPAD electronics to accurately characterize multiple physical noise sources, and collected a real SPAD image dataset (64 × 32 pixels, 90 scenes, 10 different bit depths, 3 different illumination flux, 2790 images in total) to calibrate noise model parameters. With this physical noise model, we synthesized a large-scale realistic single-photon image dataset (image pairs of 5 different resolutions with maximum megapixels, 17250 scenes, 10 different bit depths, 3 differen
