Researchers from MIT and Meta have developed a computer vision technique that could someday enable an autonomous vehicle to see around the car ahead.
Their technique uses shadows to determine what lies in obstructed portions of the scene.
PlatoNeRF could make AR/VR headsets more efficient by enabling a user to model the geometry of a room without the need to walk around taking measurements.
It could also help warehouse robots find items in cluttered environments faster.
PlatoNeRF was able to outperform other methods, especially when the lidar sensor had lower resolution.
This would make their approach more practical to deploy in the real world, where lower resolution sensors are common in commercial devices.
In the future, the researchers want to try tracking more than two bounces of light to see how that could improve scene reconstructions.
