Abstract

Non-Line of Sight (NLoS) imaging represents a crucial technology with significant potential across numerous applications including autonomous vehicles, robotics, biomedicine, and state-of-the-art weaponry. NLoS technology primarily aims to rapidly and accurately reconstruct hidden objects following light perception. Existing methodologies predominantly employ active laser illumination. However, there is a burgeoning necessity for comprehensive research within passive NLoS systems, where objects self-emit light. In our study, we introduce a novel technique using a straightforward imaging setup composed of a standard digital camera and an occluder. By leveraging the power of deep learning, we demonstrate the capability to reconstruct hidden objects swiftly, significantly surpassing the time efficiency of existing techniques. Moreover, our method exhibits a high degree of reliability. Our research opens the door to further investigations into a universal and highly reliable passive NLoS reconstruction algorithm. This algorithm's defining feature is its resilience to changes in both the occluder and object positions within the imaging setup. Such imaging techniques, which eliminate the requirement for an auxiliary light source, offer promising prospects for the proactive detection of concealed adversaries or objects, thereby providing a valuable tool across various domains.
