The walls and ceiling in the room are also covered with large triangle-cuts of foam that remove virtually any echo. When I clap there’s […]
Multispectral imaging through scattering media and around corners
Existing methods for imaging through scattering media prioritize grayscale and often falter in resolving multispectral speckles, leading to inadequate spectral recovery. We propose a method that establishes a spectral component separation model for high-quality multispectral imaging through scattering media and around corners. By leveraging the uncorrelation among speckles of different wavelengths and the superposition essence […]
