Unpo larized NLOS imaging methods reconstruct objects hidden around corners by inverting time-gated indirect light paths measured at a visible relay surf ace, but fail to reconstruct scene features depending on their position an d orientation with respect to such surface. We address this limitation (kn own as the missing cone problem) by capturing the polarization state of li ght in time-gated imaging systems at picosecond time resolution, and intro ducing a novel inversion method that leverages directionality information of polarized measurements to reduce directional ambiguities in the reconst ruction. Our method is capable of imaging features of hidden surfaces insi de the missing cone space of state-of-the-art NLOS methods, yielding fine reconstruction details even when using a fraction of measured points on th e relay surface. We demonstrate the benefits of our method in both simulat ed and experimental scenarios.\n\nRegistration Category: Full Access, Full Access Supporter\n\nLanguage Format: English Language\n\nSession Chair: Q i Sun (New York University) URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2024/program/?id=papers_230&sess=sess119 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
