New GPU pipelines boost NLOS imaging reconstruction speed and efficiency

Researchers have developed new GPU pipelines to significantly improve the efficiency of non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging reconstruction. These pipelines optimize established wave-based algorithms like f-k migration and phasor-fields by fusing kernels, using warp-level photon binning, and employing FP16 storage. The optimized implementations achieve up to 42x speed improvements and reduce memory usage by up to 97.5%, enabling larger and more detailed reconstructions on existing hardware. AI

IMPACT Enables more complex and detailed scene reconstructions in real-time for applications like autonomous navigation and robotics.

    Memory-efficient GPU pipelines for real-time non-line-of-sight reconstruction

    arXiv:2608.28183v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging reconstructs scenes hidden around a corner from indirect light recorded by a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD). A single reconstruction is a large inverse problem: billions of photon timestamps …
