This is way cool: New software can analyze faint light patterns on walls and other matte surfaces to reconstruct a full-color representation of objects that are out-of-frame or around corners. No special optics are required: It works with ordinary digital camera snapshots.
right; what the software reconstructed.
Besides the “way cool” factor of being able to see around corners, once the technique is refined, it could have applications in transportation (self-driving car vision); in medicine (letting endoscopies see more); in helping police and other first responders see around corners into buildings; and so on.
