Seeing around a corner sounds impossible. After all, if light cannot travel directly from an object to a camera, how could the camera possibly know what is there? Yet scientists and engineers have developed imaging systems capable of reconstructing hidden objects by analyzing tiny reflections of light that bounce off nearby surfaces.

In this episode, we explore the fascinating world of non-line-of-sight imaging, a technology that allows cameras to effectively "see" objects hidden from direct view. We dive into optics, laser physics, computational imaging, signal processing, machine learning, and advanced sensor technology. We examine how lasers can illuminate walls, how reflected photons carry hidden information, and how powerful algorithms reconstruct images from incredibly subtle light signals.

We also explore potential applications ...
