I guess the expression of 'N', eqn (1) is wrong:

the expression of equation(1) should be
N(td)= ......exp( 1- (td/toff)) instead of being ...........exp ((1- dt)/toff) .
otherwise it creates a dimensional inhomogenity as we cannot subtract td from 1 - as the former has unit of seconds while the later is a constant.
Please make note of it and kindly inform me, in any case there is any supportive mathematics to it. The supplementary part that shows the derivation also does not elucidate it, it just gives away the result claiming it to be same in the last step from the penultimate step.
Am kindly looking forward to hearing from you.

t_d is expressed in frames. In reading carefully the supplementary materials you will find that:
"Here we will refer to the td and toff as of multiples of
the frame rate acquisition time (i.e. td=1 is equivalent to td =50 ms in the text, td =2 is
equivalent to td =100 ms and so on...)."
