Abstract
A single-pass method for identifying peaks in a time of flight histogram, the single-pass method including conducting an ordered comparison of each bin with an adaptive threshold until finding a bin that exceeds the adaptive threshold; enabling peak tracking in response to finding the bin that exceeds the adaptive threshold; in response to enabling peak tracking, continuing the ordered comparison of each bin with the adaptive threshold until finding a bin that falls below the adaptive threshold; and in response to finding the bin that falls below the adaptive threshold, marking a peak location between the bin exceeding the adaptive threshold and the bin that falls below the adaptive threshold.
