U of T computational imaging researchers harness AI to fly with light in motion
The AI algorithm helps researchers visualize ultrafast videos from any viewpoint, allowing for the study of how light propagates from multiple perspectives.
This is now possible, thanks to new research from University of Toronto computer scientists who have built an advanced camera setup that — for the first time — can visualize light in motion from any perspective, opening avenues for further inquiry into new types of 3D sensing techniques. Dubbed “ Flying with Photons ” by the researchers, this computational imaging work can capture ultrafast moments of a scene — like a pulse of light speeding through a pop bottle or bouncing off a mirror — from multiple viewpoints. “Additionally, our technology could inspire creative applications in the arts, such as filmmaking or interactive installations, where the beauty of light transport can be used to create new types of visual effects or immersive experiences,” he adds.
