Single Photo 3D Reconstruction of Hidden Scenes

Researchers from the University of South Florida (USF) developed a technology that can reconstruct hidden scenes in 3D using a single photo. The technology has the potential to reveal what’s behind walls, doors, or cars.

The algorithm that can use the faint shadows cast by objects on nearby surfaces to generate highly accurate and colorful 3D models of the occluded areas. This technology could have many applications, from preventing car accidents to aiding law enforcement and military operations.
