Consumer LiDAR can now image hidden objects using motion-induced sampling

Researchers have developed a new method for imaging objects that are not directly in a device's line of sight, utilizing consumer-grade LiDAR sensors. This technique, called Motion Induced Sampling, overcomes limitations of low-power, low-resolution sensors by fusing multiple frames to reconstruct hidden 3D shapes. The approach enables capabilities like tracking and localization using these unseen objects, making advanced non-line-of-sight imaging accessible with affordable, off-the-shelf hardware. AI

    Imaging Hidden Objects with Consumer LiDAR via Motion Induced Sampling

    LiDARs are being increasingly deployed for consumer imaging in handheld, wearable, and robotic applications. These sensors can capture the time-of-flight of light at picosecond resolution, which in principle, enables them to capture information about objects hidden from their fie…
