The present invention is directed to methods and apparatus for accurately detecting light energy of a signal of interest (e.g., a laser pulse) even when the signal-to-noise ratio is relatively low. The present invention is further directed to accurate detection of a signal of interest even when either or both the signal of interest and background illumination vary across plural pixels of an imaging an array. For example, a signal of interest can be accurately detected even in the presence of pixel response non-uniformity and fixed pattern noise, or when the incident signal of interest is not confined laterally to a single pixel.
