Features of the present disclosure implement an analytical formalism to calculate a time of flight (ToF) for a signal in order to identify the distance between the ToF imaging system and a target object. The features of the present disclosure allow a flexible, fast, and accurate solution for phase unwrapping in ToF imaging system. Such techniques minimize the memory usage, accounts for the factors that generally contribute to differences in the performance of the selected modulation frequencies, and mitigates the unwrapping errors that occur in low signal to noise areas.
