Aug 17, 2023 at 8:33 comment added Spalo Well, the thing here is that I just need to compress the illuminance linearly in a range of frequencies, so that the brightest pixel produces the highest frequency, and vice-versa. In order to do that, I think I can take advantage of time windows and statistics, and get similar results with much less pulses. I'll show you in an answer some results from Matlab.
Aug 13, 2023 at 19:22 comment added Marcus Müller That would be interesting to see written as answer, because as far as I can tell, you need the full observation matrix as you can't miss any pulses?
Aug 13, 2023 at 17:02 comment added Spalo Hi @MarcusMüller! I'd eventually found something in the literature related to my problem: compressed sensing. Thanks for your insights!
Aug 10, 2023 at 11:12 comment added Marcus Müller yes, there are, as said above!
Aug 10, 2023 at 10:53 comment added Spalo And are there schemes for compressing a PDM signal using time windows?

Aug 9, 2023 at 15:43 comment added Marcus Müller your signal is a PDM signal!
Aug 9, 2023 at 15:42 comment added Spalo You mean of sampling a pulse-density-modulated signal? I hope I am not using the terms wrong. I will look into it, for sure. Could you please elaborate on other approaches for such schemes? And you are right about the question, I was not sufficiently clear in my post. When I mentioned the combined statistics of the two distributions (the pulse train and the window), I was referring to about the probability of finding a pulse.
Aug 9, 2023 at 15:34 comment added Marcus Müller "That is the mathematical analysis I am interesed in." OK, that seems to be a different question than you were asking above, right?
Aug 9, 2023 at 15:33 comment added Marcus Müller So, OK, regarding "I can't find any information on sampling a train of pulses using an observation window", really look for "Pulse Density Modulation" (PDM), this is a super common format, and there's various ways of sampling it, including yours, but yours is kind of the worst approach, as you see.
Aug 9, 2023 at 15:30 comment added Spalo Hi! Thanks for your comment. The pixel pulses are always the same duration, yes. Actually, what the pixels implement is a pulse frequency modulation of its photogenerated current. But my struggle is with the window. As you mentioned, the example shows that I will be loosing pulses. But if I define the window correctly, then the probability of finding at least 1 pulse in a pixel will be higher in pixels with higher frequency. That is the mathematical analysis I am interesed in.
Aug 9, 2023 at 15:20 comment added Marcus Müller Also, I think your window in your example is too short, and your example is the perfect illustration of why: you get 100% quantization error if your observation window is shorter than the longest relevant interspike interval.
Aug 9, 2023 at 15:19 comment added Marcus Müller Hm, are these pulses always the same duration? Because what you sound would usually be called PDM, pulse density modulation.
