About

Tomoki Ueda is a researcher in computational imaging and active illumination, whose work focuses on developing advanced optical systems for selective depth and geometry-based imaging. His primary contributions center around **slope disparity gating**, a technique that enables cameras to selectively capture photons reflected from surfaces at specific distances and orientations. This capability has direct applications in robotics, autonomous vehicles, and surveillance, where isolating objects from cluttered backgrounds is critical. Ueda's most cited paper, "Slope Disparity Gating using a Synchronized Projector-Camera System" (2019, 11 citations), introduced a novel method for achieving this selective imaging by synchronizing a projector and camera to gate light based on surface slope. His follow-up work, "Slope Disparity Gating: System and Applications" (2022, 3 citations), refined the technique and expanded its practical use cases. Though his citation counts are modest, Ueda's research represents a specialized and innovative niche in computational optics, offering a new dimension to active illumination systems beyond traditional time-of-flight or structured light methods. His work is particularly notable for its potential to enhance perception in challenging environments, making him a promising contributor to the field of intelligent vision systems.
