Time-resolved non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging based on single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) detectors have demonstrated impressive results in recent years. To acquire adequate number of indirect photons from a hidden scene the presence overwhelming amount early-arrival photons, single-gated SPAD is widely employed to mitigate pile-up. However, additional prior knowledge range and relay surface profile are required preset gating position implement reconstruction. With this work, we propose...

Silicon (Si) single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) arrays sensitive to the 400to 900-nm wavelength range have been studied for a number of uses due their high detection efficiency; zero readout noise; low timing jitter; mechanical robustness; low-voltage(<; 50 V) operation; mass producibility; and size, weight, power, cost. As with all solid-state detectors, however, they are susceptible damage by radiation, displacement energetic particles being primary concern many applications. This...
