Scientists have learned to look around the corner without looking around the corner

Researchers at Northwestern University in the United States have developed a technology that allows them to identify objects in

corner without having to turn the corner itself.

We see anything when the light falls on ourselvesthe object, and part of the light reflected from it is already fixed by the retina of our eye. However, this does not work if the object is obscured by other objects or scattering media such as fog. But it is quite realistic to use diffused light from several objects in order to still see the desired object.

Developed by American scientists, the systememits light that is reflected from the surface of an object. Then the reflection returns back, and this is recorded by the sensor. As a result, algorithms form an image of an invisible object. The main disadvantage of this method is the rather low image resolution.

The technology can find its application inin the automotive sector, to help cars respond to hidden dangers, or to be involved in industry and medicine, where, for example, using a camera system, it will be possible to examine the internal organs of a person.
