SYSTEM FOR LOW-PHOTON-COUNT VISUAL OBJECT DETECTION AND CLASSIFICATION

摘要

A computing system can be configured for low-photon-count visual object classification. The computing system can include a photon detection system including one or more cells. Each of the one or more cells can include one or more photon detectors. Each of the one or more photon detectors can be configured to output photon signatures in response to a photon being incident on the one or more photon detectors. The computing system can include one or more processors and one or more memory devices storing computer-readable data. The data can include a low-photon-count classification model and one or more instructions that, when implemented, cause the one or more processors to perform operations for low-photon-count visual object recognition. The operations can include obtaining a photon signature from a photon detection system. The operations can include providing the photon signature to a low-photon-count classification model. The operations can include determining, by the low-photon-count classification model, a classification of a visual object disposed in view of the photon detection system based at least in part on the photon signature. The operations can include providing the classification as output of the low-photon-count classification model.
