使い方

Distance from a photon arrival-time histogram: d = c*t/2.

Direct time-of-flight. The light travels to the target and back, so the one-way distance is half the round-trip time times the speed of light. *bin_ps* is the width of one time bin (a 100 ps bin is 1.50 cm of depth).

Four estimators, from crudest to sharpest:

• "peak" — the centre of the fullest bin. Quantised to the bin grid; the error is uniform in +-half a bin (+-0.75 cm at 100 ps).

• "centroid" — the first moment of the whole histogram. Exact for a symmetric pulse *with no background*, and badly biased toward the middle of the window with one — pass subtract_background=True.

• "parabolic" — a parabola through the peak bin and its two neighbours. Sub-bin, cheap, and biased for a Gaussian pulse.

• "gaussian" — the same parabola fitted to the log of those three samples, which is the exact vertex for a Gaussian pulse.

Measured on a noiseless simulated return at 2.4371 m (256 bins x 100 ps, 500 ps IRF), absolute error: peak 1.29 mm, centroid 4.4e-16 m, parabolic 0.067 mm, gaussian 9.4e-9 m — three orders of magnitude between the crudest and the sharpest.

With Poisson noise (200 signal + 200 ambient photons, seed 0) the same four give 13.7 mm, 146.5 mm (with subtract_background=True), 8.5 mm and 8.0 mm. Two honest readings of that: once shot noise dominates the sub-bin estimators buy about 1.6x, not three orders of magnitude, and the centroid collapses because a median-subtracted ambient floor still leaves noise across the whole window that drags the first moment toward the centre. Use "gaussian" or "parabolic" on noisy data; use "centroid" only when the background is genuinely gone.

*offset_ps* is a system delay to remove: t_flight = t_measured - offset_ps, so a positive offset makes the answer *closer*. Returns the distance in metres as a float.

Raises ValueError: negative, non-finite, non-1-D or all-zero *hist*, a non-positive *bin_ps*, an unknown *mode*, a non-finite *offset_ps*, a flat histogram in a peak-based mode (argmax would silently pick bin 0 and report the first bin's depth), a peak in the first or last bin with a sub-bin *mode* (there is no neighbour to fit to — use "peak"), a degenerate three-sample fit, and — instead of returning a negative distance — an *offset_ps* larger than the measured arrival time.

Typed bridge of the photon op dtof_depth into the 2-D evolution registry: the same implementation, called under the op(v, a, b) convention. a drives bin_ps (default 100); b is unused.
