Non-line-of-sight Imaging

Abstract: Emerging single-photon-sensitive sensors combined with advanced inverse methods to process picosecond-accurate time-stamped photon counts have given rise to unprecedented imaging capabilities. Rather than imaging photons that travel along direct paths from a source to an object and back to the detector, non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging approaches analyse photons {scattered from multiple surfaces that travel} along indirect light paths to estimate 3D images of scenes outside the direct line of sight of a camera, hidden by a wall or other obstacles. Here we review recent advances in the field of NLOS imaging, discussing how to see around corners and future prospects for the field.
