There are two issues with sunlight and iToF. The sunlight photons saturate the pixel, and you get no useful measurement. The dominant noise source of iToF is photon shot noise [1], so sunlight photons contribute heavily to noise. Increase your laser power, use better optical notch filters, decrease the sensor integration time, and do more image filtering. I'm a cofounder at Chronoptics and we've developed a sunlight capable ToF camera, https://youtu.be/7vMI37S0w3Q https://youtu.be/7vMI37S0w3Q
