Researchers from Stanford University’s Computational Imaging Lab have developed a novel method of non-line-of-sight imaging. They call it keyhole imaging because the contents of a room can be captured from a single point as small as a keyhole. Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging as a concept isn’t new and has been used to image objects in a closed room from a single point source for…
