dtof_cube_depth — PHOTON dtof op

使い方

Depth map from a (H, W, T) photon histogram cube — the dToF inversion.

The array version of :func:dtof_depth, with the same four mode estimators and the same t_flight = t_measured - offset_ps sign convention. The time axis is last: a (D, H, W) voxel volume passed in here would be read as W time bins and return a plausible-wrong depth map, so the shape is checked and the error message says exactly that.

Pixels whose total counts are below min_counts — and, in the peak-based modes, pixels whose histogram is exactly flat (no peak to find, so argmax would report bin 0 for every one of them) — are set to empty_value (default 0.0, a value no real return can have since d > 0). Set empty_value=float('nan') if you would rather propagate a NaN — that is an opt-in, never the default, because a NaN depth map silently poisons every downstream reduction.

Where a sub-bin mode cannot be applied to a pixel — the peak is in the first or last bin, or the three samples are flat / non-positive for the log fit — that pixel falls back to the bin-centre ("peak") estimate. A per-pixel exception would be useless on a megapixel cube; the fallback is documented here and pinned in the tests, and it degrades to the coarser estimator rather than to a wrong one.

Ground truth: on a noiseless simulated cube of a tilted plane from 1.0 to 3.0 m (32x32 pixels, 256 bins x 100 ps, 500 ps IRF) the RMS depth error is 4.39 mm for "peak", 3.2e-16 m for "centroid", 0.114 mm for "parabolic" and 1.6e-8 m for "gaussian". With Poisson noise (20 signal + 5 ambient photons per pixel, seed 0) the same four give 19.9 mm, 164.8 mm (background subtracted), 18.7 mm and 19.2 mm — at 20 photons the estimator choice is worth about 6%, and the centroid is 8x worse than doing nothing clever at all.

Returns a float64 (H, W) depth map in metres.

Raises ValueError: a cube that is not 3-D / has fewer than 2 time bins / holds negative counts / exceeds :data:MAX_CUBE_ELEMENTS, a non-positive bin_ps, an unknown mode, a negative min_counts, a non-finite empty_value other than NaN, and — instead of returning negative distances — an offset_ps that exceeds the measured arrival time of any valid pixel (a mis-signed or mis-scaled calibration delay).
