"Time-of-flight rising edge adaptive cross-talk correction" was invented by Andreas Assmann (Edinburgh, Great Britain).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method of operating a time-of-flight (ToF) ranging system includes: receiving a histogram that includes a cross-talk signal generated by reflected light pulses from a cover glass of the ToF ranging system; finding, in a first region of the histogram, a first rising edge having a gradient that is larger than a threshold or is a maximum gradient in the first region, where the first rising edge is in a f...
