    Quanta Perception as Probabilistic Events

    3305 Newell-Simon Hall

    Abstract:  Autonomous systems ultimately rely on extracting information from light, yet remain brittle in extreme environments, from nighttime navigation to high-speed robotics. This limitation stems from a classical imaging abstraction: conventional sensors integrate photon flux over fixed exposure windows, imposing trade-offs between sensitivity, dynamic range, and temporal resolution that degrade perception when photons are scarce [...]
