About
Keita Yasutomi is a leading figure in the advancement of Time-of-Flight (ToF) CMOS image sensors, specializing in high-resolution, high-speed 3D range imaging. His most cited work, a 2014 paper on a 413×240-pixel sub-centimeter resolution ToF sensor, showcases his major contribution: the development of in-pixel background canceling using lateral-electric-field charge modulators. This innovation directly addresses a critical challenge in ToF imaging—suppressing ambient light interference to achieve precise depth measurements even in bright environments. With 20 citations, this work has influenced subsequent designs for applications ranging from gesture recognition and robotics to automotive safety systems. Yasutomi’s research pushes the boundaries of pixel-level intelligence, enabling compact, high-performance sensors that bring sub-centimeter accuracy to consumer and industrial 3D vision. His achievements underscore a commitment to making ToF technology practical for real-world, high-speed depth sensing, marking him as a key contributor to the evolution of modern range imaging.
