1. A time-of-flight apparatus, comprising:
a light detector configured to detect light reflected from a scene as a light detection event, wherein the light detector has at least one light detection element; and
circuitry configured to:
store light detection events at only selected points of time for the at least one light detection element, the selected points of time being selected from among a set of predetermined number of consecutive times corresponding to a predetermined number of bins of a time-binned histogram, wherein selection of the selected points of time for acquiring the light detection events is based on a time compressive sampling of the light detection events and corresponds to selecting bins among the predetermined number of bins to activate for the time-binned histogram.
