The problem of seeing around corners, often referred in the broader "Non-Line-of-Sight" context, is to use sensed information from directly visible surfaces of an environment to infer properties of the scene not directly visible. For example, the ...

Emerging detector technologies are capable of ultrafast capture of single photons, enabling imaging at the speed of light. Not only can these detectors be used for imaging at essentially trillion frame-per-second rates, but combining them with ...

We explore the question of whether phase-based time-of-flight (TOF) range cameras can be used for looking around corners and through scattering diffusers. By connecting TOF measurements with theory from array signal processing, we conclude that ...

Mental state or workload of a person are very relevant when the person is executing delicate tasks such as piloting an aircraft, operating a crane because the high level of workload could prevent accomplishing the task and lead to disastrous results. ...

The Camera Culture Group at the MIT Media Lab aims to create a new class of imaging platforms. This talk will discuss three tracks of research: femto photography, retinal imaging, and 3D displays. Femto Photography consists of femtosecond laser ...

Time of flight cameras produce real-time range maps at a relatively low cost using continuous wave amplitude modulation and demodulation. However, they are geared to measure range (or phase) for a single reflected bounce of light and suffer from ...

Light field photography has gained a significant research interest in the last two decades; today, commercial light field cameras are widely available. Nevertheless, most existing acquisition approaches either multiplex a low-resolution light field into ...

Recently, several camera designs have been proposed for either making defocus blur invariant to scene depth or making motion blur invariant to object motion. The benefit of such invariant capture is that no depth or motion estimation is required to ...

Light field cameras, e.g. [Lytro 2012; Veeraraghavan et al. 2007], have ushered a new direction in photography allowing consumers to synthesize photographs with novel viewpoints or varying focus after the actual recording. Unfortunately, current light ...

We develop tomographic techniques for image synthesis on displays composed of compact volumes of light-attenuating material. Such volumetric attenuators recreate a 4D light field or high-contrast 2D image when illuminated by a uniform backlight. Since ...

We present a camera with switchable primaries using shiftable layers of color filter arrays (CFAs). By layering a pair of CMY CFAs in this novel manner we can switch between multiple sets of color primaries (namely RGB, CMY and RGBCY) in the same ...

Catadioptric imaging systems are commonly used for wide-angle imaging, but lead to multi-perspective images which do not allow algorithms designed for perspective cameras to be used. Efficient use of such systems requires accurate geometric ray modeling ...

We introduce an interactive, portable, and inexpensive solution for estimating refractive errors in the human eye. While expensive optical devices for automatic estimation of refractive correction exist, our goal is to greatly simplify the mechanism by ...

We investigate the problem of image sensing under unfavorable photographic conditions in a wireless image sensor network. In the scenes with deflective and/or reflective medium such as fogs, mirrors, glasses, degraded images are captured by those image ...

What will a camera look like 10 years from now? How should we change the camera to improve mobile photography? How will a billion networked and portable cameras change the social culture? How can we use bio-inspired processing to decompose sensed values ...
