Seeing the Invisible: Next-Generation Cameras Leveraging Hidden Properties of Light
SessionDoctoral Consortium
DescriptionConventional cameras only capture light's intensity and color, restricting visual understanding. This thesis transcends RGB imaging by exploring the underexplored potential of polarization, ray direction, and time-of-flight of light. First, it leverages polarization for geometry, reflectance, and lighting estimation to accurately edit appearance. Next, it turns glossy objects into cameras by using reflections to recover the 3D environment. Finally, it develops systems exploiting time-of-flight photon distribution to reconstruct hidden scenes. By harnessing light's potential, this work lays the foundation for next-generation vision systems that recover information invisible to human eyes and cameras.
