Imaging Hidden Objects with Consumer LiDAR via Motion Induced Sampling

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2605.17865v1 Announce Type: new LiDARs are being increasingly deployed for consumer imaging in handheld, wearable, and robotic applications. These sensors can capture the time-of-flight of light at picosecond resolution, which in principle, enables them to capture information about objects hidden from their field of view. While such non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging capabilities have been shown on research-grade LiDARs, they are challenging to achieve on consumer devices due to poor signal quality resulting from low laser power, low spatial resolution, and object and camera motion.
