About
Shinzo Koyama is a leading innovator in advanced CMOS image sensor (CIS) technology, with a primary focus on long-range, high-resolution 3D time-of-flight (ToF) ranging systems. His major contributions center on the development of Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode (Gm-APD) sensors, which enable single-photon detection for direct ToF applications. Koyama’s landmark work, a 1200×900 6µm pixel array operating at 450fps, achieved a remarkable 250-meter ranging capability with configurable depth resolution down to 10cm. This was accomplished through a novel direct-indirect-mixed frame synthesis technique, solving critical challenges in automotive, surveillance, and robotics systems where both long distance and precise 3D resolution are essential. His paper on this system has garnered 32 citations, reflecting its influence on the field. Koyama’s achievements demonstrate a rare ability to push the boundaries of sensor speed, resolution, and range simultaneously, making him a key figure in the evolution of solid-state LiDAR and high-performance 3D imaging.
