Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging is based on capturing the multi-bounce indirect reflections from the hidden objects. Active NLOS imaging systems rely on the capture of the time of flight of light through the scene, and have shown great promise for the accurate and robust reconstruction of hidden scenes without the need for specialized scene setups and prior assumptions. Despite that existing methods can reconstruct 3D geometries of the hidden scene with excellent depth resolution, accurately recovering object textures and appearance with high lateral resolution remains an challenging problem. In this work, we propose a new problem formulation, called NLOS photography, to specifically address this deficiency. Rather than performing an intermediate estimate of the 3D scene geometry, our method follows a data-driven approach and directly reconstructs 2D images of a NLOS scene that closely resemble the pictures taken with a conventional camera from the location of the relay wall. This formulation largely simplifies the challenging reconstruction problem by bypassing the explicit modeling of 3D geometry, and enables the learning of a deep model with a relatively small training dataset. The results are NLOS reconstructions of unprecedented lateral resolution and image quality.

We present a neural modeling framework for Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) imaging. Previous solutions have sought to explicitly recover the 3D geometry (e.g., as point clouds) or voxel density (e.g., within a pre-defined volume) of the hidden scene. In con
trast, inspired by the recent Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) approach, we use a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) to represent the neural transient field or NeTF. However, NeTF measures the transient over spherical wavefronts rather than the radiance along lines. We therefore formulate a spherical volume NeTF reconstruction pipeline, applicable to both confocal and non-confocal setups. Compared with NeRF, NeTF samples a much sparser set of viewpoints (scanning spots) and the sampling is highly uneven. We thus introduce a Monte Carlo technique to improve the robustness in the reconstruction. Comprehensive experiments on synthetic and real datasets demonstrate NeTF provides higher quality reconstruction and preserves fine details largely missing in the state-of-the-art.
Time of flight based Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging approaches require precise calibration of illumination and detector positions on the visible scene to produce reasonable results. If this calibration error is sufficiently high, reconstruction can
fail entirely without any indication to the user. In this work, we highlight the necessity of building autocalibration into NLOS reconstruction in order to handle mis-calibration. We propose a forward model of NLOS measurements that is differentiable with respect to both, the hidden scene albedo, and virtual illumination and detector positions. With only a mean squared error loss and no regularization, our model enables joint reconstruction and recovery of calibration parameters by minimizing the measurement residual using gradient descent. We demonstrate our method is able to produce robust reconstructions using simulated and real data where the calibration error applied causes other state of the art algorithms to fail.
Passive non-line-of-sight imaging methods are often faster and stealthier than their active counterparts, requiring less complex and costly equipment. However, many of these methods exploit motion of an occluder or the hidden scene, or require knowle
dge or calibration of complicated occluders. The edge of a wall is a known and ubiquitous occluding structure that may be used as an aperture to image the region hidden behind it. Light from around the corner is cast onto the floor forming a fan-like penumbra rather than a sharp shadow. Subtle variations in the penumbra contain a remarkable amount of information about the hidden scene. Previous work has leveraged the vertical nature of the edge to demonstrate 1D (in angle measured around the corner) reconstructions of moving and stationary hidden scenery from as little as a single photograph of the penumbra. In this work, we introduce a second reconstruction dimension: range measured from the edge. We derive a new forward model, accounting for radial falloff, and propose two inversion algorithms to form 2D reconstructions from a single photograph of the penumbra. Performances of both algorithms are demonstrated on experimental data corresponding to several different hidden scene configurations. A Cramer-Rao bound analysis further demonstrates the feasibility (and utility) of the 2D corner camera.
A deep learning based non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging system is developed to image an occluded object off a scattering surface. The neural net is trained using only handwritten digits, and yet exhibits capability to reconstruct patterns distinct fro
m the training set, including physical objects. It can also reconstruct a cartoon video from its scattering patterns in real time, demonstrating the robustness and generalization capability of the deep learning based approach. Several scattering surfaces with varying degree of Lambertian and specular contributions were examined experimentally; it is found that for a Lambertian surface the structural similarity index (SSIM) of reconstructed images is about 0.63, while the SSIM obtained from a scattering surface possessing a specular component can be as high as 0.93. A forward model of light transport was developed based on the Phong scattering model. Scattering patterns from Phong surfaces with different degrees of specular contribution were numerically simulated. It is found that a specular contribution of as small as 5% can enhance the SSIM from 0.83 to 0.93, consistent with the results from experimental data. Singular value spectra of the underlying transfer matrix were calculated for various Phong surfaces. As the weight and the shininess factor increase, i.e., the specular contribution increases, the singular value spectrum broadens and the 50-dB bandwidth is increased by more than 4X with a 10% specular contribution, which indicates that at the presence of even a small amount of specular contribution the NLOS measurement can retain significantly more singular value components, leading to higher reconstruction fidelity. With an ordinary camera and incoherent light source, this work enables a low-cost, real-time NLOS imaging system without the need of an explicit physical model of the underlying light transport process.
Compressive lensless imagers enable novel applications in an extremely compact device, requiring only a phase or amplitude mask placed close to the sensor. They have been demonstrated for 2D and 3D microscopy, single-shot video, and single-shot hyper
spectral imaging; in each of these cases, a compressive-sensing-based inverse problem is solved in order to recover a 3D data-cube from a 2D measurement. Typically, this is accomplished using convex optimization and hand-picked priors. Alternatively, deep learning-based reconstruction methods offer the promise of better priors, but require many thousands of ground truth training pairs, which can be difficult or impossible to acquire. In this work, we propose the use of untrained networks for compressive image recovery. Our approach does not require any labeled training data, but instead uses the measurement itself to update the network weights. We demonstrate our untrained approach on lensless compressive 2D imaging as well as single-shot high-speed video recovery using the cameras rolling shutter, and single-shot hyperspectral imaging. We provide simulation and experimental verification, showing that our method results in improved image quality over existing methods.
