looking around corners using femto-photography and transient imaging
DESCRIPTION
Presentation during MIT Media Lab 25th Year Anniversary Celebrations http://web.media.mit.edu/~raskar//femto/ Our goal is to exploit the finite speed of light to improve image capture and scene understanding. New theoretical analysis coupled with emerging ultra-high-speed imaging techniques can lead to a new source of computational visual perception. We are developing the theoretical foundation for sensing and reasoning using transient light transport, and experimenting with scenarios in which transient reasoning exposes scene properties that are beyond the reach of traditional machine vision.TRANSCRIPT
