Abstract
Electro-optical (EO) systems comprising a photodetector array (PDA) comprising a plurality of photosites (PSs), each PS operative to output detection signals for different frames, the detection signal output for a frame by the respective PS being indicative of an amount of light impinging on the respective PS during a respective frame exposure time (FET); a usability filtering module operative to first determine for each PS that the PS is unusable based on a first FET, and to later determine that the PS is usable based on a second FET that is shorter than the first FET; and a processor operative to generate images based on frame detection levels of the plurality of PSs.
